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 ...

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 ...

The ongoing computerization of vehicle systems is leading to additional electronic control units (ECUs) and sensors to ensure effective control. So, Hall effect sensors are widely adopted for their ...

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 ...

Tired of stick drift ruining your controllers? Here's what hall effect actually means and whether it's worth upgrading for ...

Researchers have developed a 3-axis Hall-effect magnetic sensor based on a compact inverted pyramid structure, offering improved accuracy and reduced signal interference in magnetic field detection.

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 ...

The Hall Effect provides the capability for several non-contact magnet measurements. From speed and direction to current sensing, application requirements have driven suppliers to develop products ...
