Hall sensor feel magnet near it.
It make signal when magnet is close.
Signal can be digital or analog.
Arduino read this signal.
We can see result on computer or LED.
It is use for motor, wheel speed or position check.
Circuit Coding:
int digitalPin = 2;
int analogPin = A0;
int digitalValue = 0;
int analogValue = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(digitalPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalValue = digitalRead(digitalPin);
analogValue = analogRead(analogPin);
Serial.print("Digital Value: ");
Serial.println(digitalValue);
Serial.print("Analog Value: ");
Serial.println(analogValue);
delay(500);
}
Coding Explanation:
- digitalPin is connected to DO of sensor.
- analogPin is connected to AO of sensor.
- In setup we start serial monitor and set in pin mode.
- In loop Arduino reads both the values.
- It prints digital and analog values.
- Delay is added for better reading.

Parts List:
| Component Name | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Arduino UNO | 1 |
| Hall Effect Sensor Module | 1 |
The Arduino code for the Hall sensor is simple.
Circuit connections are easy.
The sensor detects a magnet nearby.
Its output changes when a magnetic field is present.
Digital output goes HIGH or LOW based on the magnets pole.
Analog output gives a voltage proportional to the magnetic field.
Arduino reads these values and displays the result.

Formulas:
General formula for Hall Effect sensor is:
VH = (RH × I × B) / t
here,
- RH is the hall coefficient
- I is the current
- B is the magnetic field strength
- t is the sensor thickness
