Hall Effect Sensor

  • A Hall effect device produces a voltage when placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow of current.
  • When the South pole of a magnet is near the sensor the output pin is set LOW.
  • When the North pole or no magnet is near the sensor the output pin is set HIGH.

Interfacing LED and Hall Sensor - Pin Connection

  • Auton Shield has many Sensor ports with 3 pins (5v, GND, D or D/A (output)). Any Digital or analog sensor can be connected to these ports.
  • A 3V LED should be connected with a 220Ω resistor to any pin (example: pin 13) and its negative pin should be connected to gnd.

interfacing LED and Hall sensor - Without Magnet

When there is no magnetic field or movement of magnetic flux the sensor is in OFF state and LED does not glow.

Interfacing LED and Hall Sensor - With Magnet

   Condition 1: When South Pole is perpendicular to the sensor Hall Sensor                            output is LOW. LED turns to "ON" state.
  Condition 2: When North Pole is perpendicular to the sensor Hall Sensor                             output is High and LED turns to "OFF" state. 
                                                                                         

   
Condition 1:

                                                                                                     

Condition 2:

Interfacing LED and Hall Sensor - Program Tips

  •  Since Hall Sensor is an input device, set pin 7 as INPUT
  •  LED is an output device, hence set pin 3 as OUTPUT
  •  Read the input from the sensor, store it in a variable.
  •  If the value is LOW (South Pole), make the LED turn "ON"
  •  If it is HIGH (no magnet/north pole), make the LED turn "OFF"
