/* Hall Sensor The Hall Sensor [T000070] is connected to I0 and reacts to the magnetic field polarity changing its analog output. When there is no magnetic field the sensor read a value around 512, going to the north pole cause an increasing of the value while going to south cause a decreasing of the value. Uses the result to light up a T010111 LED Module connected on O0. Also prints the value of the Hall Sensor to the serial monitor. created on 7 Dec 2010 by Davide Gomba modified on Dec 2011 by Federico Vanzati This example code is in the public domain. */ // include the TinkerKit library #include TKHallSensor hs(I0); // creating the object 'hs' that belongs to the 'TKHallSensor' class // and giving the value to the desired input pin TKLed led(O0); // creating the object 'led' that belongs to the 'TKLed' class // and giving the value to the desired output pin void setup() { // initialize serial communications at 9600 bps Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { // Read the analog value of the Hall Sensor and print on the serial monitor Serial.print("Hall Sensor Value = "); Serial.println( hs.get() ); // with polarity() we can know if the magnetic field // is going to NORTH or SOUTH without read the analog value if (hs.polarity() == NORTH) { led.on(); } if (hs.polarity() == SOUTH) { led.off(); } // wait 10 milliseconds before the next loop // for the analog-to-digital converter to settle // after the last reading: delay(10); }
