You will find the code for Hall-effect sensors in the chapter11/hall_effect_digital.py file for switch and latching switch type Hall-effect sensors and the chapter11/hall_effect_analog.py file for ratiometric type Hall-effect sensors.
What you will find when you review these two files is the following:
- chapter11/hall_effect_digital.py is functionally identical to the PIR code example we covered previously in this chapter in the section titled Running and exploring the PIR sensor code. Both the PIR and non-latching/latching Hall-effect sensors are digital switches. The only difference is that our reference Hall-effect sensor is active LOW.
- chapter11/hall_effect_analog.py is similar to other analog-to-digital examples we have seen using the ADS1115 ACD, including the circuit wiring and code from Chapter 5, Connecting Your Raspberry Pi to the Physical World.
