We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

I have a pile of different generic electric bike throttles purchased from several online sellers. They all arrived about a week ago. I have a goal of using them to make the basic model of an electric ...

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...

There are plenty of PC joysticks out there, but that didn’t stop [dizekat] from building his own. Most joysticks measure position mechanically using potentiometers or encoders. Only a few high-end ...

Allegro MicroSystems has introduced a new family of contact-less, Hall-effect-based magnetic sensor ICs for high speed motor position sensing applications. (Image courtesy of Allegro Microsystems).
