    Hall-Effect Sensor: 1,2,3 Are The Leg Numbers We See Protruding Out of The Sensor

    Hall-effect sensors are transducers that output a changing voltage in response to a magnetic field. They work by applying a current to a thin strip of metal, causing electrons to deflect in the presence of a magnetic field and altering resistance. This results in an output voltage change. Hall-effect sensors see common uses as non-contact switches in applications like proximity sensing, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing.

    Hall-effect Sensor

    1.Introduction
    Hall-effect sensors are transducers, the device varies output voltage
    in response to a magnetic field. They are widely used as non-physical
    on-off switches. When a magnetic field is present near a hall effect
    sensor, the output voltage tends to zero. They see application as
    proximity switching, positioning, speed detection, and current
    sensing applications.
    2.Theory
    How it works?
    In a Hall-effect sensor, a thin strip of metal has a current applied to
    it. In the presence of a magnetic field, the electrons in the metal strip
    are deflected toward one edge, this increases the resistance and thus
    leads to an output voltage drop.

    Inside look at the structure

    1,2,3 are the leg numbers we see protruding out of the sensor…
    CODE:
    int hallSensorPin = 2;
    int state = 0;

    void setup() {
    pinMode(hallSensorPin, INPUT);
    }

    void loop() {
    state = digitalRead(hallSensorPin);
    if (state == LOW)
    Serial.println("ON");
    else
    Serial.println("OFF");
    delay(250);
    }

    Schematic:

    We will get a ‘LOW’ on input pin when magnetic field is present,


    Otherwise, the pin will read high.
