Reed Switch Module Project
The Reed Switch Module project demonstrates how to detect the presence of a magnetic field using a reed switch with an Arduino Mega. When a magnet is close to the reed switch, it closes the circuit, allowing the Arduino to detect the change in state.
Components Needed
- Arduino Mega
- Reed Switch Module
- Jumper Wires
- Magnet
- Breadboard
- Power Supply

Circuit Setup
Connecting the Reed Switch Module to Arduino Mega:
Instructions
Code Upload:
Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.
Testing:
Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud) to monitor the output.
Place a magnet near the reed switch to see the output change between "Magnet detected!" and "No magnet detected."
