Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

While TMR works differently, it's a similar concept to Hall effect devices. When you move a TMR joystick, it moves a magnet ...

Miri is a creative writer with a passion for gaming and animation. She started gaming way back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis and has been a console gamer ever since. She's currently a ...

Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

Hall effect sensors are everywhere right now. Keyboards, game controllers, and DIY kits use them for more precise inputs. But with any newly popular device, it can be easy to immediately jump onto the ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds deceptively simple. There’s a metal plate with current flowing across it in one ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

After dealing with years of widespread reports of “stick drift” on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

Controllers with Hall effect technology have been gaining ground in recent years, and for good reason. They offer greater precision and customization options than first-party gamepads, and the nature ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...
