Rotary potentiometers consist of a circular conductive track ... Maximum angle simply refers to the greatest angle that the sensor can measure. For example, a device's shaft may be able to rotate a ...

Two sensor types can be found in these devices: a potentiometer or an optical or magnetic encoder. Measurement ranges vary (e.g., 25 to 600 inches). Measurement reporting varies in accuracy (e.g., ...

Instead, he used hall effect sensors and a square magnet for each axis, which gives good resolution over a small throw angle ... with a hall effect sensor. A normal potentiometer was used in ...
