  The magnetised 51 kton Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector proposed to be built
at INO is designed with a focus on detecting 1-20 GeV muons. The magnetic field
will enable the measurement of the momentum of the $\mu^-$ and $\mu^+$
generated from the charge current interactions of $\nu_\mu$ and $\bar\nu_\mu$
separately within iron in the detector, thus permitting the determination of
the neutrino mass ordering/hierarchy, among other important goals of ICAL.
Hence it is important to determine the magnetic field as accurately as
possible. The mini-ICAL detector is an 85-ton prototype of ICAL, which is
operational at Madurai in South India. We describe here the first measurement
of the magnetic field in mini-ICAL using Hall sensor PCBs. A set-up developed
to calibrate the Hall probe sensors using an electromagnet. The readout system
has been designed using an Arduino Nano board for selection of channels of Hall
probes mounted on the PCB and to convert the analog voltage to a digital
output. The magnetic field has been measured in the small gaps (provided for
the purpose) between iron plates in the top layer of mini-ICAL as well as in
the air just outside the detector. A precision of better than 3% was obtained,
with a sensitivity down to about 0.03 kGauss when measuring the small fringe
fields outside the detector.
