Product Details
The Gravity Linear/Analog Hall Sensor is a top - notch device for accurately measuring and monitoring magnetic field strength. Its advanced Hall effect circuitry directly transforms magnetic induction strength into voltage output. This sensor has a unique response to magnetic fields. When the south pole of a magnet faces the sensing surface, the magnetic field gets stronger, and the output voltage rises above the mid - point. Conversely, when the north pole faces the surface, the output voltage drops below the mid - point. With high sensitivity, it's perfect for applications like industrial control, scientific research, security systems, and various electronic devices. It features bipolar sensing for detecting both north and south pole magnetic fields, low - noise output to minimize interference, single current source output for stable signals, an on - board indicator LED to show magnetic field detection, and high compatibility with Arduino, micro:bit, and UNIHIKER. It's an efficient and reliable tool for magnetic field detection with precise measurements. Operating at 3.3 - 5V, it has a power supply current of 4.2 - 8 mA and a magnetic field range of ±1200 GS. The detection distance is less than 1 cm, and it comes in 27x32mm dimensions with a product weight of 3.5g.
Using the Gravity Linear/Analog Hall Sensor is easy. First, connect it to your main controller like Arduino, micro:bit, or UNIHIKER using the provided sensor cable. You'll see the on - board LED light up when a magnetic field is detected, which helps you quickly know its working status. When measuring magnetic fields, bring the magnet close to the sensing surface. Remember that the output voltage will change depending on whether it's the north or south pole facing the surface. For the best results, make sure the operating voltage is within 3.3 - 5V. As for maintenance, keep the sensor away from strong magnetic fields that are outside its specified range of ±1200 GS, and avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or dust. Also, handle it gently to prevent physical damage. If you're using it with different platforms, refer to the corresponding usage tutorials for more detailed steps.
