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

The sensors use the Hall effect, an electrical potential (the Hall voltage) that is developed between the two edges of a current-carrying conductor whose faces are perpendicular to an applied current ...

An ATtiny25 microcontroller reads data from a couple of hall effect sensors and the neutral switch, then displays the current gear on a 7-segment display. There’s a magnet on the shifter and ...

Learn more about the single monitoring unit (SMU) from LEM and how it could facilitate higher-accuracy, intelligent battery ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Explore the latest breakthroughs in sensor technology driving efficiency and performance in EVs and renewable energy.

On the K2, they’re just as good. (I have an in-depth explainer on Hall effect sensors if you'd like to learn more about the technology.) These switches are smooth, comfortable, and consistent to ...

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

The wire is built from materials which exhibit the ‘giant’ magneto-resistance (GMR) effect ... automotive sensors and ...

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 ...
