Introduction The KY-003 Hall-effect sensor module has the 3144 Hall magnetic sensor, a resistor and a red LED on-board. The module is a very responsive switch that gets activated by a magnetic field. It can be triggered, with high response rates, by a natural magnet or an electromagnet.
Dimensions: 19 x 15mm [0.73 x 0.6in] The KY-003 Hall sensor module consists of a sensitive Hall-effect switch, a 680Ω resistor and a red LED. The red LED gets turned ON when there is a magnet in the sensor proximity.
How to set-up Arduino IDE If the Arduino IDE is not installed, follow the link and download the installation file for the operating system of choice. For Windows users, double click on the downloaded .exe file and follow the instructions in the installation window. - 6 -...

For Linux users, download a file with the extension .tar.xz, which has to be extracted. When it is extracted, go to the extracted directory and open the terminal in that directory. Two .sh scripts have to be executed, the first called arduino-linux-setup.sh and the second called install.sh.

Almost all operating systems come with a text editor preinstalled (for example, Windows comes with Notepad, Linux Ubuntu comes with Gedit, Linux Raspbian comes with Leafpad, etc.). All of these text editors are perfectly fine for the purpose of the eBook. Next thing is to check if your PC can detect an Atmega328p board.

If the Arduino IDE is used on Windows, port names are as follows: For Linux users, for example port name is /dev/ttyUSBx, where x represents integer number between 0 and 9. - 9 -...
How to set-up the Raspberry Pi and Python For the Raspberry Pi, first the operating system has to be installed, then everything has to be set-up so that it can be used in the Headless mode. The Headless mode enables remote connection to the Raspberry Pi, without the need for a PC screen Monitor, mouse or keyboard.
Connecting the sensor with Atmega328p Connect the KY-003 module with the Atmega328p as shown on the following connection diagram: KY-003 pin > Mc pin > Blue wire Middle pin (VCC) > Red wire (GND) > Black wire - 11 -...
= analogRead(0); if(value < 30) { digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); else digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); When the sketch is uploaded to the Atmega328p, the built-in LED of the Atmega328p should turn ON when a magnet close is close to the KY-003 module. - 12 -...
Connecting the sensor with Raspberry Pi Connect the KY-003 module with the Raspberry Pi as shown on the following connection diagram: KY-003 pin > Raspberry Pi pin > GPIO22 [pin 15] Blue wire Middle pin (VCC) > [pin 17] Red wire - (GND) >...
