If a magnet is placed close to the reed switch module, the red LED lights up; take away the magnet and the green LED lights up again. .. note:: If it does not work after running, or there is an error prompt: \"wiringPi.h: No such file or directory\", please refer to :ref:`install_wiringpi`. **Code** .. code-block:: c #include #include #define ReedPin 0 #define Gpin 2 #define Rpin 3 void LED(char* color) { pinMode(Gpin, OUTPUT); pinMode(Rpin, OUTPUT); if (color == "RED") { digitalWrite(Rpin, HIGH); digitalWrite(Gpin, LOW); } else if (color == "GREEN") { digitalWrite(Rpin, LOW); digitalWrite(Gpin, HIGH); } else printf("LED Error"); } int main(void) { if(wiringPiSetup() == -1){ //when initialize wiring failed,print messageto screen printf("setup wiringPi failed !"); return 1; } pinMode(ReedPin, INPUT); LED("GREEN"); while(1){ if(0 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ delay(10); if(0 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ LED("RED"); printf("Detected Magnetic Material!\n"); } } else if(1 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ delay(10); if(1 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ while(!digitalRead(ReedPin)); LED("GREEN"); } } } return 0; } **Code Explanation** .. code-block:: c #define ReedPin 0 #define Gpin 2 #define Rpin 3 Pin GPIO17, GPIO27 and GPIO22 of the T_Extension Board is corresponding to the GPIO0, GPIO2 and GPIO3 in wiringPi. Assign GPIO0, GPIO2 and GPIO3 to ``ReedPin``, ``Gpin`` and ``Rpin``. .. code-block:: c void LED(char* color) { pinMode(Gpin, OUTPUT); pinMode(Rpin, OUTPUT); if (color == "RED") { digitalWrite(Rpin, HIGH); digitalWrite(Gpin, LOW); } else if (color == "GREEN") { digitalWrite(Rpin, LOW); digitalWrite(Gpin, HIGH); } else printf("LED Error"); } Set a ``LED()`` function to control the 2 LEDs, the parameter of this function is ``color``. When ``color`` is ``"RED"``, set ``Rpin`` to ``HIGH`` (light up the red LED) and ``Gpin`` to ``LOW`` (turn off the green LED); when ``color`` is ``"GREEN"``, then light up the green LED and turn off the red LED. .. code-block:: c while(1){ if(0 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ delay(10); if(0 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ LED("RED"); printf("Detected Magnetic Material!\n"); } } else if(1 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ delay(10); if(1 == digitalRead(ReedPin)){ while(!digitalRead(ReedPin)); LED("GREEN"); } } } Read the value of the reed switch module, if the value read 2 times is 0, call ``LED("RED")`` to light up the red LED and print ``"Magnetic material detected!"``. If the value is 1, the green LED is lit. Phenomenon Picture ------------------------ .. image:: ../img/2.2.4reed_switch.JPG :width: 500 :align: center
