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 ...

This small PCB is designed to trigger your DSLR or mirrorless camera once its remotely-mounted hall effect sensor detects the presence of a magnet. The remote hall effect sensor. The idea is that ...

Inside a Hall effect sensor is a conductive material called a “Hall element” that has an electrical current flowing through it. Normally, electrons flow straight through this conductor ...

The boost to accuracy is definitely noticeable. Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game ...

If you've been shopping around for your next gaming controller, chances are you might have come across the term "Hall effect" in reference to the sensors inside. Essentially, Hall effect sensors ...

Hall-effect sensors are better suited to high-speed applications in the range of 1kHz and above because this is where the reed contact meets its physical operating boundaries. For applications with ...

However, there is a more permanent fix suggested by iFixit: replacing the potentiometers with Hall effect sensor sticks. This guide will walk you through the process of installing these sensors ...

A team of researchers has developed a cutting-edge 3-axis Hall-effect magnetic sensor featuring an inverted pyramid structure ...

Thrustmaster has just unveiled a set of new simulation peripherals featuring Hall Effect sensors that improve precision and durability over time. These products, the Raceline Pedals III ...
