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

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) ...

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 ...

The sensor uses a ferrite core and a hall effect sensor. The ferrite toroid is split in half, one half in each side of the clamp. An opamp circuit provides a gain of 100 to boost the hall effect ...

We've seen many smartphone gamepads from manufacturers like Razer, GameSir, and Backbone, but one of the biggest players in ...

BitDo's dedicated Android controller has a pair of rear triggers, Hall Effect sticks, and a bunch of customization features.

Custom controllers have a rich history, with adherents ranging from the very best esports professionals, to even Timothée Chalamet. I have long saw third party controllers as a cheaper ...

Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but ...

Mercedes-Benz is recalling more than 500,000 vehicles in China due to a potential defect in the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), Chinese authorities announced. The recall comes after concerns that ...

The new Nikon Z50 II has the same core specs as its predecessor, but is turbocharged with an Expeed 7 chip for Z9-like performance ...
