Linear-Hall Magnetic Sensor Module KY-024

ARDUINO LINEAR-HALL MAGNETIC SENSOR MODULE

A magnetic field is detected by the sensor and will be printed as an analog voltage value. You can control the sensitivity of the sensor with the potentiometer.

Digital out: If a magnetic field is detected by the sensor, a signal will be printed here

Analog out: Direct measurement of the sensor unit

LED1: Shows that the sensor is supplied with voltage

LED2: Shows that the sensor detects a magnetic field

Functionality of the sensor

The sensor has 3 main components on its circuit board. First, the sensor unit at the front of the module which measures the area physically and sends an analog signal to the second unit, the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the signal, according to the resistant value of the potentiometer, and sends the signal to the analog output of the module.
The third component is a comparator which switches the digital out and the LED if the signal falls under a specific value.
You can control the sensitivity by adjusting the potentiometer.

Please notice: The signal will be inverted; that means that if you measure a high value, it is shown as a low voltage value at the analog output.

 

This sensor doesn’t show absolute values (like exact temperature in °C or magneticfield strenght in mT).
It is a relative measurement: you define an extreme value to a given normal environment situation and a signal will be send if the measurement exceeds the extreme value.

Code example Arduino

The program reads the current voltage value which will be measured at the output pin and shows it via serial interface.

Additionally, the status of the digital pin will be shown at the terminal.

Code example Raspberry Pi

!! Attention !! Analog Sensor  !! Attention !!

Unlike the Arduino, the Raspberry Pi doesn’t provide an ADC (Analog Digital Converter) on its Chip. This limits the Raspbery Pi if you want to use a non digital Sensor.

To evade this, use our Sensorkit X40 with the KY-053 module, which provides a 16 Bit ADC, which can be used with the Raspberry Pi, to upgrade it with 4 additional analog input pins. This module is connected via I2C to the Raspberry Pi.
It measures the analog data and converts it into a digital signal which is suitable for the Raspberry Pi.

So we recommend to use the KY-053 ADC if you want to use analog sensors along with the Raspberry Pi.

For more information please look at the infosite: KY-053 Analog Digital Converter

!! Attention !! Analog Sensor  !! Attention !!

The program uses the specific ADS1x15 and I2C python-libraries from the company Adafruit to control the ADS1115 ADC. You can find these here: [https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code] published under the  BSD-License [Link]. You can find the needed libraries in the lower download package.

The program reads the current values of the input pins and outputs it at the terminal in [mV].

Additional to that, the status of the digital pin will be shown at the terminal to show if the extreme value was exceeded or not.
