Hall-effect switches and instrumentation-grade sensors have become more commonplace in industrial applications, with a wide range of Hall-effect devices now packaged for designers of products and ...

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 ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

NewTek Sensor Solutions has launched the RVD Series Hall Effect Angle Sensors designed to meet the high demands of industrial environments. RVD Series Hall Effect angle sensors Credit: NewTek Sensor ...

Using the Hall effect for current measurement is inherently robust, but it can be an even more versatile tool when it comes to position sensing. Sensing, in all its forms, is fundamental to so many ...

Engineers who want to measure and control rotating antennas, fluid flow direction, or a robotic arm joint can now use a Two-Pi hallpot angle sensor from Elweco Inc. This file type includes high ...

Thanks to its magnetic-field detection in X, Y, and Z directions, Diodes Inc.’s automotive-qualified AH4930Q is able to measure three-dimensional, linear, and rotation movements. Insight on Diodes Inc ...

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 ...
