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 ...

Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

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 ...

Melexis Technologies NV introduces two new parts to its programmable digital Hall Effect sensor line. Melexis Technologies NV introduces two new parts to its programmable digital Hall Effect sensor ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...

Melexis has brought out a linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is available in multiple ...

It's all about the relative failure rate. My understanding is that drift can and does happen on pretty much any non-Hall joystick, but that the Switch Joy-Cons were ...

I’m admittedly not huge Switch fan, but my kids are - we have 1 original and 2 lites in our household. But as more details arise, the Switch 2 is less and less compelling. Let’s call it $500 (trariff ...
