This module is compatible with popular electronic platforms like Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. It works as a switch that detects the presence of magnetic fields with high accuracy

Hardware Required

You will require the following Hardware Components for interfacing the KY-025 Reed Switch Module with Arduino.

What is the KY-025 Reed Switch Module?

KY-025 Reed Switch Module is a type of magnetic sensor that is used to detect the presence of a magnetic field. It is composed of a small reed switch and a resistor, which are housed in a small module. When a magnetic field is present, the reed switch will be activated, and the resistance of the module will change accordingly. This change in resistance can be measured and used to trigger other electronic components.

Specifications

The module is composed of several components including a 49E Linear Hall-Effect Sensor, an LM393 Dual Differential Comparator, a Potentiometer, 2 LEDs, 6 resistors, and 4 male header pins.

Features

1. High sensitivity to magnetic fields
