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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When operating industrial machinery, precision and accuracy are vital to a productive and safe working environment. Commonly, joysticks are used to aid in the maneuvering of heavy equipment for a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Controllers with Hall effect technology have been gaining ground in recent years, and for good reason. They offer greater precision and customization options than first-party gamepads, and the nature ...

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 ...

TMR sensors are more sensitive than HE, giving finer actuation point changes, faster inputs, and higher responsiveness than HE. TMR is more power-efficient than HE, extending wireless battery life and ...

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 ...
