/*
 Hall Effect Switch

 Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital
 pin 13, when Hall Effect Sensor attached to pin 2 is triggered by a magnet

 Hall effect sensor used is the A1120EUA from Allegro Microsystems
 (This works just fine with the A3144E... SAM)

 This example code is in the public domain.

// constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers:
const int hallPin = 12;     // the number of the hall effect sensor pin
const int ledPin =  13;     // the number of the LED pin
// variables will change:
int hallState = 0;          // variable for reading the hall sensor status

void setup() {
  // initialize the LED pin as an output:
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  // initialize the hall effect sensor pin as an input:
  pinMode(hallPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
  // changed from INPUT to INPUT_PULLUP to eliminate need for external resistor (SAM)
}

void loop(){
  // read the state of the hall effect sensor:
  hallState = digitalRead(hallPin);

  if (hallState == LOW) {
    // turn LED on:
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  }
  else {
    // turn LED off:
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
