Using this digital Hall sensor is easy. First, connect it to a power source with a voltage between 3.3V and 5V. The indicator LED on the board will let you know if it's working properly. When a magnetic object gets close, the sensor will give a digital output to tell you. Remember, this sensor can't tell the difference between north and south poles as it's an omnipolar detector. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields. If you have any questions, refer to the Wiki Doc, DataSheet, or Schematics provided.
