A team of scientists has developed a powerful new way to detect subtle magnetic signals in common metals like copper, gold, and aluminium—using nothing more than light and a clever technique. Their ...

Just like when magnetic Hall Effect sensors first made their way to the best PC game controllers, I’ve been itching to try out these new magnetic sensors that are becoming increasingly popular ...

Diodes’ AH4930Q sensor detects magnetic fields along the X, Y, and Z axes for contactless rotary motion and proximity sensing. As the company’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall effect sensor, ...

Diodes Incorporated today introduces its first automotive-compliant* 3 D linear Hall effect sensor. The AH4930Q detects the magnetic field in the X, Y, and Z directions, allowing for reliable and ...

Engadget has asked Nintendo why the company opted not to use Hall effect tech in the Joy-Con 2. We've also asked whether the Switch 2 Pro Controller foregoes Hall effect sensors as well.

The Hall Effect is an important concept in physics and engineering, and it has many applications in sensors, switches, transducers, and devices.

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 ...

Tunneling magnetoresistance, a technology that boosted hard drive storage capacities two decades ago, could be a permanent solution to joystick drift.

Innovative inverted pyramid Hall-effect sensors offer improved accuracy and reduced crosstalk, paving the way for high-performance magnetic sensing solutions.

Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces its first series of advanced InSb Hall element sensors for rotation speed detection and current measurement in consumer applications ...

Nintendo’s Alarmo uses the tech that could solve Joy-Con stick drift The dial control atop Alarmo uses a magnetic Hall effect sensor for improved accuracy and durability.

A small C library to read values from Linear Hall Effect Sensors like OH49E with a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) or Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350), with calibration and smoothing. The library can output ...
