| Hall sensor by Juan Guillermo (Coco) Gomez A hall sensor is a magnetic field sensor, it can detect when a magnet is nearby. This example turns on a light (LED) connected to a digital pin when a magnet is near the Hall sensor Created 3 November 2005 Revised 4 April 2007 |

    // Hall sensor
    // by Juan Guillermo (Coco) Gomez

    int ledPin = 48;  // diagnostic LED on the Wiring I/O board (pin 48)
    int pinHall = 0;  // Pin for the Hall sensor
    int pinLed = 1;   // Pin for the led that turns on if the magnetic field is near

    void setup()
    {
      pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
      pinMode(pinLed, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
      pinMode(pinHall, INPUT); // sets the digital pin as input
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); //turn on the Wiring board diagnostic LED
    }

    void loop()
    {
      if (digitalRead(pinHall) == HIGH)  // If a magnet is near the Hall sensor
      {
        digitalWrite(pinLed, HIGH);	     // turns ON the LED
      }
      else {
        digitalWrite(pinLed, LOW);       // if not turns OFF the LED
      }
    }
