Connect the negative pin the shorter pin of the led to pin gnd ground of the arduino.
Magnetic door window contact reed switch arduino.
Based on the presence or absence of a magnetic field the reed switch contacts will be either close or open.
Today we will make a simple device that will light up a led when a window is opened and if it is opened for 15 minutes it turns on a buzzer to remind you to close it.
In this tutorial we will use one magnetic contact door sw sensor and a buzzer for making a noise when a door is opened.
The following image shows a simple reed switch with its internal connections.

The switch itself that usually comes opened and the magnet.
Connect the positive pin the longer lead of the led to pin 13 of the arduino.
Reed switches can also be useful for other applications.
13 and gnd should be next to each other.
It also show how to add a third state wire cut using two resistors.
We are using a normally open reed switch in this project.
Vo is 5v when the switch is open and 0v when the switch is closed.
Normally the reed is open no connection between the two wires.

Magnetic door sensor reed switch.
A magnet and reed switch mounted on a bicycle can help calculate the speed of the bicycle based on the rpm of the wheels.
The other half is a magnet.
Switch is closed in the presence of magnetic field and it is open in the absence of magnetic field.
To interface reed switch with arduino we need to build a voltage divider circuit as shown in the figure below.

A magnetic contact switch is basically a reed switch encased in a plastic shell so that you can easily apply them in a door a window or a drawer to detect if the door is open or closed.
This shows you how to connect and window door security sensor to an arduino.
Depending on the construction of the reed switch the contacts inside the switch can be either normally open or normally closed.
Only 3 left in stock order soon.
The switch that we are going to use has two parts.
