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. **Code** .. note:: You can **Modify/Reset/Copy/Run/Stop** the code below. But before that, you need to go to source code path like ``raphael-kit/python``. After modifying the code, you can run it directly to see the effect. .. raw:: html .. code-block:: python #!/usr/bin/env python3 import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time ReedPin = 17 Gpin = 27 Rpin = 22 def setup(): GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) # GPIO.setup(Gpin, GPIO.OUT) # Set Green Led Pin mode to output GPIO.setup(Rpin, GPIO.OUT) # Set Red Led Pin mode to output GPIO.setup(ReedPin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) # Set ReedPin's mode is input, and pull up to high level(3.3V) GPIO.add_event_detect(ReedPin, GPIO.BOTH, callback=detect, bouncetime=200) def Led(x): if x == 0: GPIO.output(Rpin, 1) GPIO.output(Gpin, 0) if x == 1: GPIO.output(Rpin, 0) GPIO.output(Gpin, 1) def detect(self): Led(GPIO.input(ReedPin)) def loop(): while True: pass def destroy(): GPIO.output(Gpin, GPIO.HIGH) # Green led on GPIO.output(Rpin, GPIO.LOW) # Red led off GPIO.cleanup() # Release resource if __name__ == '__main__': # Program start from here setup() detect() try: loop() except KeyboardInterrupt: # When 'Ctrl+C' is pressed, the child program destroy() will be executed. destroy() **Code Explanation** .. code-block:: python ReedPin = 17 Gpin = 27 Rpin = 22 def setup(): GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) # GPIO.setup(Gpin, GPIO.OUT) # Set Green Led Pin mode to output GPIO.setup(Rpin, GPIO.OUT) # Set Red Led Pin mode to output GPIO.setup(ReedPin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) # Set ReedPin's mode is input, and pull up to high level(3.3V) GPIO.add_event_detect(ReedPin, GPIO.BOTH, callback=detect, bouncetime=200) Set the GPIO modes to BCM Numbering. ``ReedPin``, ``Gpin`` and ``Rpin`` connects to the GPIO17, GPIO27 and GPIO22. ``GPIO.add_event_detect()`` is used to add an event that is triggered by a change in the value (level) of ``ReedPin``, at which point the callback function ``detect()`` is called. .. code-block:: python def Led(x): if x == 0: GPIO.output(Rpin, 1) GPIO.output(Gpin, 0) if x == 1: GPIO.output(Rpin, 0) GPIO.output(Gpin, 1) Define a function ``Led()`` to turn the two LEDs on or off. If ``x=0``, the red LED lights up; otherwise, the green LED will be lit. .. code-block:: python def detect(self): Led(GPIO.input(ReedPin)) In this callback function, the value of the reed switch is used to control the 2 LEDs.
