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/python/
**Step 3:** Run.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
sudo python3 2.2.4_ReedSwitch.py
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.
**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.

**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.
