Gorillacell Module 025: Hall-Effect Sensor

Table of Contents

The Hall Switch, also known as a Hall-Effect Sensor, is a magnetic sensor that changes its logic state when a magnet is brought near it. This behavior is based on the Hall Effect — a phenomenon where a voltage difference is generated across a conductor when it is exposed to a magnetic field.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Hall Switch Sensor module, along with a small bar magnet for testing and experimentation.

BASIC INFORMATION

Device Category Interface Chipset Description
Input Sensor Cell Digital - -

PINOUT

It has 3 pins which are

  1. G - for the ground pin,
  2. V - for the supply voltage, and
  3. S - for determining the state of the Hall SW Sensor module.

A Hall SW Sensor produces a logic 1 when it detects a South Pole (S) magnetic field.
