1. Introduction
This is a Grove interface compatible Magnetic switch module. It is based on encapsulated dry reed
switch CT10. CT10 is single-pole, single throw (SPST) type, having normally open ruthenium
contacts. The sensor is a double-ended type and may be actuated with an electromagnet, a
permanent magnet or a combination of both. The magnetic switch is a wonderful tool for designers
who would like to turn a circuit on and off based on proximity.

5. Usage
With Arduino
The SIG pin of the module output LOW normally. When a magnet approaches the switch, the
magnetic switch close and the SIG pin output HIGH.
The following sketch demonstrates a simple application of using the Magnetic switch to control the
led. When you put a magnet that has enough magnetic power close to the module, the switch is
closed .Then the SIG pin out put a high voltage. You can use this to control the led.
As the picture on the belowindicates, the Magnetic switch is connected to digital port 9 of the Grove
- Basic Shieldand the LED is connected to digital port 13. When there is Magnetic approaches the
switch, the SIG pin output a High voltage. Then the LED light. The hardware installation is as
follows:
Copy and paste code below to a newArduino sketch.
/*******************************************************************************/
/*macro definitions of magnetic pin and LED pin*/
#define MAGNECTIC_SWITCH 9
#define LED 13//the on board LED of the Arduino or Seeeduino
void setup()
{
pinsInit();
7
}
void loop()
{
if(isNearMagnet())//if the magnetic switch is near the magnet?
{
turnOnLED();
}
else
{
turnOffLED();
}
}
void pinsInit()
{
pinMode(MAGNECTIC_SWITCH, INPUT);
pinMode(LED,OUTPUT);
}
/*If the magnetic switch is near the magnet, it will return ture, */
/*otherwise it will return false */
boolean isNearMagnet()
{
int sensorValue = digitalRead(MAGNECTIC_SWITCH);
if(sensorValue == HIGH)//if the sensor value is HIGH?
{
return true;//yes,return ture
}
else
{
return false;//no,return false
}
}
void turnOnLED()
{
digitalWrite(LED,HIGH);
}
void turnOffLED()
{
digitalWrite(LED,LOW);
}
Upload the code, Please click here if you do not know how to upload.
Then the LED light when there is Magnetic approaches the switch. Have a try!
