The KY-024 Linear magnetic Hall sensor reacts in the presence of a magnetic field. It has a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor and it provides both analog and digital outputs.

The digital output acts as a switch that will turn on/off when a magnet is near, similar to the KY-003. On the other hand, the analog output can measure the polarity and relative strength of the magnetic field.

Compatible with popular electronics platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Esp32, Teensy and others.

Board Dimensions	1.5cm x 3.6cm [0.6in x 1.4in]

Connection Diagram

KY-024 Arduino Code

The following Arduino sketch will read values from both digital and analog interfaces on the module. 

The digital interface will turn on the Arduino’s LED when a magnetic field is detected.

The analog interface starts at an initial value determined by the input voltage and the potentiometer, this value will increase or decrease depending on the intensity and polarity of the magnetic field.

int led = 13 ; // LED on arduino
int digitalPin = 3; // linear Hall magnetic sensor digital interface
int analogPin = A0; // linear Hall magnetic sensor analog interface
int digitalVal ; // digital readings
int analogVal; // analog readings
void setup ()
{
  pinMode (led, OUTPUT); 
  pinMode (digitalPin, INPUT); 
  //pinMode(analogPin, INPUT); 
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop ()
{
  // Read the digital interface
  digitalVal = digitalRead(digitalPin) ; 
  if (digitalVal == HIGH) // When magnetic field is present, Arduino LED is on
  {
    digitalWrite (led, HIGH);
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite (led, LOW);
  }
  
  // Read the analog interface
  analogVal = analogRead(analogPin);
  Serial.println(analogVal); // print analog value
  delay(100);
}

Setting analog pin as input (line 11) is not necessary, the analogRead() function will automatically set the pin as analog input when used.

Use Tools > Serial Plotter on the Arduino IDE to visualize the changes on intensity and polarity of the magnetic field.
