How to interface Reed Switch sensor with 8051 Microcontroller?

Hi

I want to build a system contain sensor ,Microcontroller and GSM module. I'll use SIM900 GSM module. The main idea of this project if Reed switch sensor connected I want the GSM module send an alarm message to a mobile.

Can you help how I can do this?? some steps and hints.
For GSM module I read about AT commands and I knew I must desire if I want it receiver or sender.

Any suggestions it's will be better.
Thank you

  • Your question was how to interface reed switches with a microcontroller.

    And the simple answer is: just like you interface other switches with a microcontroller.

    So that should keep a final year computer engineering student going.

    In fact - a final year computer engineering student should be able to figure out himself that a reed switch is just a specific form of switch and be able to go from there. That would follow from reading the datasheet of the specific reed switch together with the general information available at:
    en.wikipedia.org/.../Reed_switch

    So exactly why are you asking? What issues did you see that made you feel a need to ask how to interface a reed switch with a microcontroller? To get good, specific, answers, you have to write good, specific, questions.
