DFRobot_Magnetic_Induction_Sensor__SKU_DFR0025

DISCONTINUED

This product has been discontinued and replaced by: Digital Magnetic sensor

Introduction

This is the DFRobot Magnetic Induction Sensor. It senses the magnetic materials within a detection range up to about 3cm. The detection range and the strength of the magnetic field are proportional. The output is digital on/off. This sensor uses the SFE Reed Switch - Magnetic Field Sensor.

}

void loop(){
  val = digitalRead(inputPin);  // read input value
  if (val == HIGH) {            // check if the input is HIGH
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // turn LED OFF
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON
