More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break ...

Like Hall effect and variable inductance sensors, resolvers rely on magnetic fields and are subject to the advantages and disadvantages of other magnetic sensors. When selecting rotary position ...

Hall effect position sensors are noncontact devices that convert energy from a magnetic field into an electrical signal. The sensors use the Hall effect, an electrical potential (the Hall voltage) ...

This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example of this. By way of backstory, [Nixieguy], aka [The Electronic Mercenary], offers up a relatable tale — in the market for suitable ...

The first video below lays the basic groundwork, with a bunch of experiments with 3-axis Hall effect sensors ... but also with a rotary axis. What’s more, he built a motorized version using ...
