 OUT (Digital Output)

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Usage with Arduino

This example demonstrates how to use the Magnetic Float Sensor FSH01 (Horizontal) with an Arduino board to detect the presence or absence of a liquid.
```c
const int sensorPin = 2;  // Digital input pin for sensor output
int sensorState = 0;      // Variable to store sensor state

void setup() {
  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  sensorState = digitalRead(sensorPin);
  if (sensorState == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Liquid detected!");
  } else {
    Serial.println("No liquid detected.");
  }
  delay(500);
}
```
In this example, the sensor output is connected to digital pin 2 on the Arduino board. The code reads the sensor state and prints a message to the serial monitor indicating whether a liquid is present or not.

### Example 2: Using with Raspberry Pi (Python)

This example demonstrates how to use the Magnetic Float Sensor FSH01 (Horizontal) with a Raspberry Pi board using Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
sensor_pin = 17  # GPIO pin for sensor output

GPIO.setup(sensor_pin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

while True:
    if GPIO.input(sensor_pin):
        print("Liquid detected!")
    else:
        print("No liquid detected.")
    time.sleep(0.5)
```
In this example, the sensor output is connected to GPIO pin 17 on the Raspberry Pi board. The code uses the RPi.GPIO library to read the sensor state and print a message to the console indicating whether a liquid is present or not.

### Example 3: IoT Application with ESP32 (MicroPython)

This example demonstrates how to use the Magnetic Float Sensor FSH01 (Horizontal) with an ESP32 board using MicroPython to send data to a cloud-based IoT platform.
```python
import machine
import urequests

sensor_pin = machine.Pin(32, machine.Pin.IN)  # Sensor output pin

while True:
    if sensor_pin.value():
        print("Liquid detected!")
        urequests.post("https://example.com/iot-api", json={"sensor": "FSH01", "state": "true"})
    else:
        print("No liquid detected.")
        urequests.post("https://example.com/iot-api", json={"sensor": "FSH01", "state": "false"})
    time.sleep(10)
```
In this example, the sensor output is connected to pin 32 on the ESP32 board. The code uses the `urequests` library to send a POST request to a cloud-based IoT platform with the sensor state (true or false) as a JSON payload.

Note: Make sure to modify the code examples to match your specific use case and hardware configuration. Additionally, ensure that the sensor is properly calibrated and mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
