2.2.4 Reed Switch Module
==============================
Introduction
-------------------
In this project, we will learn about the reed switch, which is an electrical switch that operates by means of an applied magnetic field.

Experimental Procedures
-------------------------------
**Step 1:** Build the circuit.
.. image:: ../img/2.2.4fritzing.png
:width: 700
:align: center
**Step 2:** Change directory.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
cd ~/raphael-kit/c/2.2.4/
**Step 3:** Compile.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
gcc 2.2.4_ReedSwitch.c -lwiringPi
**Step 4:** Run.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
sudo ./a.out
The green LED will light up when the code is run. 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.
