Project 4 Hall Magnetic Sensor

1.Introduction This is a Magnetic Induction Sensor. It senses the magnetic materials within a detection range up to 3cm. The detection range and the strength of the magnetic field are proportional. The output is digital on/off. This sensor uses the SFE Reed Switch - Magnetic Field Sensor.

2.Specification

• Sensing magnetic materials

• Detection range: up to 3cm

• Output: digital on/off

• Detection range and magnetic field strength are proportional

• Size: 30*20mm

• Weight: 3g

4.Sample Code

int ledPin = 13;                // choose the pin for the LED
int inputPin = 3;               // Connect sensor to input pin 3 
int val = 0;                    // variable for reading the pin status
 
void setup() 
{
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // declare LED as output
  pinMode(inputPin, INPUT);     // declare pushbutton as input
}
 
void loop()
{
  val = digitalRead(inputPin);  // read input value
  if (val == HIGH) 
  {            // check if the input is HIGH
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // turn LED OFF
  } 
  else 
  {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON
  }
}
