More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break ...

Hall effect proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity, presence or absence of a magnetic object using a critical distance. They function via an electrical potential that is developed across ...

The first video below lays the basic groundwork, with a bunch of experiments with 3-axis Hall effect sensors, specifically the Texas Instruments TMAG5273 and TMAG5170. They’re essentially the ...

While both make use of magnets, Hall Effect sensors send signals based on the voltage difference when a magnetic field is applied across a semiconductor material. TMR joysticks, on the other hand ...

Even after 145 years, the Hall effect remains relevant, playing a crucial role in various modern-day applications such as ...

Hall effect switches use a magnet on a spring that moves up and down near a sensor to register the key press. As there is no ...

8BitDo has announced its Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller, the company’s first gamepad that attaches directly to smartphones ...

Rather, [Thomas] used a very clever homemade device, which relies on a Hall effect sensor and a magnet on a lever to do the job. The lever is attached to a roller bearing that rides on the ...

The 60HE is as iconic as it is controversial, flipping the mechanical keyboard world on its head with Hall Effect switches in a 60% form factor. Now, Wooting is back with the 80HE, which is a ...

The BOOSTXL-SENSHUB BoosterPack can leverage the advanced processing, floating-point and communication capabilities of TI’s Tiva C Series TM4C123GH6 ARM Cortex-M4 MCU for enhanced sensor accuracy.

8BitDo is known for making great third-party gaming controllers and the company is now expanding into smartphones with a new mobile controller. The just announced Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller ...

Hall effect position sensors are noncontact devices that convert energy from a magnetic field into an electrical signal. The sensors use the Hall effect, an electrical potential (the Hall voltage) ...
