Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

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 alternative to ...

Hall effect sensor ICs—boasting an installed base of billions of devices—steadily evolve while serving a broad range of motor control and automation applications. And automotive applications like ...

This paper introduces Hall-effect technology and then explores how it has been applied, in particular, differentiating between the primary types of Hall sensor ICs, and the highly differentiated range ...

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 the ...

I’m admittedly not huge Switch fan, but my kids are - we have 1 original and 2 lites in our household. But as more details arise, the Switch 2 is less and less compelling. Let’s call it $500 (trariff ...

The dial control atop Alarmo uses a magnetic Hall effect sensor for improved accuracy and durability. The dial control atop Alarmo uses a magnetic Hall effect sensor for improved accuracy and ...

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 ...

There are, quite literally, hundreds of different gaming controllers you can pick from these days. From the most basic and affordable options to the price-doesn't-matter best, there's something for ...

The 3DConnexion Space mouse is an interesting device but heavily patent-protected, of course. This seems to just egg people on to reproduce it using other technologies than the optical pickup system ...

There’s a lot to love about the PS5 DualSense controller, but there’s also one big oversight--it doesn’t use Hall Effect joysticks. That means it can--and often does--succumb to joystick drift over ...
