Hall sensor

Panos1983

I would like to connect a hall sensor to a Bs2sx microcontroller.
I have a hall sensor with two wires (Obviously, + and ground).
Could you help me on how (Circuit) I could connect this element ?

Thank you in advance,

I believe you connect it with the ground lead going to Vss and the positive lead going to an input on a microcontroller.· Basically you are reading high on the input every time it passes a magnet.

Thank you for your reply.
So, There is no need of a circuit for connecting this hall sensor to BS2SX.

Thanks.

Do you have the specifications for the Hall sensor?· If so, this will determine what is necessary.

I have just clarified that the above element does not constitute a hall sensor but a magnetic switch. Therefore, please advise
if a relevant circuit is necessary in order to connect it to Bs2sx microcontroller. The desired scope of this switch is to detect relevant
magnetic field in order to, forthwith upon detecting, activate accordingly a port of the micro controller
i.e. IF(IN10=1) THEN
OUT11=1 ELSE
OUT11=0

ENDIF
,where port10 : Magnetic switch
port11 : Alarm

Thanks
