The AH49E is a versatile, linear Hall effect device that is driven by the magnetic field of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The output voltage is set by the supply voltage and varies proportionally to the strength of the magnetic field. The integrated circuit features low output noise, eliminating the need for external filtering. The sensor features precision resistors for increased temperature stability and accuracy.

The sensor provides an analog voltage signal via its output, which indicates the strength of the magnetic field.

Analog sensor, therefore the following must be considered: The Raspberry Pi has, in contrast to the Arduino, no analog inputs or there is no ADC (analog digital converter) integrated in the chip of the Raspberry Pi. This limits the Raspberry Pi, if you want to use sensors, which do not output digital values, but a continuously changing value (example: potentiometer -> different position = different voltage value).

To avoid this problem, our sensor kit X40 contains the KY-053, a module with a 16-bit ADC, which you can use on the Raspberry to expand it with 4 analog inputs. This module is connected to the Raspberry Pi via I2C, takes over the analog measurement and transfers the value digitally to the Raspberry Pi.

So we recommend to connect the KY-053 module with the mentioned ADC in between for analog sensors of this set. You can find more information on the KY-053 Analog Digital Converter information page.

The program uses the corresponding ADS1x15 and I2C Python libraries from Adafruit to control the ADS1115 ADC. These were published under the MIT license under the following link https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_ADS1x15. The required libraries are not included in the lower download package.

The program measures the current voltage value at the ADC with the help of the ADS1115 ADC, calculates the current resistance of the NTC, calculates the temperature in advance with the help of certain values for this sensor and outputs it to the console.

Please note that you need to enable I2C on your Raspberry Pi before using this example.

#  Create the I2C bus
i2c  =  busio. I2C (board. SCL, board. SDA)

#  Create the  ADC object  using the  I2C  bus
ads  =  ADS.ADS1115(i2c)

#  Create single-ended input on channels
chan0  =  AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P0)
chan1 = AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P1)
chan2 =  AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P2)
chan3 = AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P3)


while True:
    resistance  =  chan0.voltage / (voltageMax – chan0.voltage)   *  10 000

    print (“Voltage value: “,'%.2f'  % chan0.voltage”,V, resistance:  ",'%.2f' % resistance,  "Ω" )
    print("---------------------------------------------------")

To start with the command:

sudo python3 KY035-RPi.py

# Load libraries
from machine import Pin
from time import sleep
import ADS1115

# Initialization of the ADC
ADS1115.init(0x48, 1, 4, False)

# Endless loop for reading out the ADC
while True:
    Analog = ADS1115.read(0)
    # Conversion from analog value to voltage
    Volt = ADS1115.raw_to_v(ADS1115.read(0))

    # Serial output of the analog value and the calculated voltage
    print("Analog value: " + str(Analog))
    print("Analog voltage value: " + str(Volt) + " V")

    # Query whether the analog value has changed with serial output
    if Analog >= 27000:
        print("Limit value: reached.")
        print("----------------------------------------")
    else:
        print("Limit value: not reached.")
        print("----------------------------------------")
