This sensor accepts a GND and +5V supply, and has a single digital output which goes low (GND) when a magnetic field is detected. An on board LED will also indicate the presence of a magnetic field.
Pinout
PIN 1: GND
PIN 2: +5V
PIN 3: OUT

This is a simple example of how to use the Hobby Components hall effect sensor
module.
The sensor accepts a GND and +5V supply, and has a single digital output
which goes low (GND) when a magnetic field is detected.
This example sketch will simply output a message to the UART when it
senses this pin going low.
SENSOR PINOUT:
PIN 1: GND
PIN 2: +5V
PIN 3: DATA OUT
