When operating industrial machinery, precision and accuracy are vital to a productive and safe working environment. Commonly, joysticks are used to aid in the maneuvering of heavy equipment for a ...

It's all about the relative failure rate. My understanding is that drift can and does happen on pretty much any non-Hall joystick, but that the Switch Joy-Cons were particularly susceptible based on ...

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 ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds ...

Vertical Hall sensors, integrated within standard CMOS processes, have emerged as versatile components for magnetic field measurements in a range of industrial and consumer applications. These devices ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Hall-effect position sensors from TDK-Micronas reduce interference from stray magnetic fields in automotive and industrial applications. The HAL 3930-4100 (single die) and HAR 3930-4100 (dual die) ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

A new micropower linear Hall sensor targets extended battery life and precision motion feedback in gaming peripherals, IoT ...

SteelSeries is launching the latest version of the Apex Pro gaming keyboard line, the Apex Pro Gen 3, and it boasts new OmniPoint 3.0 switches that use Hall Effect sensors. These new switches, the ...

Keyboard enthusiasts looking to pick up their next high-end board now have a choice to make: magnetic or mechanical? It's true that Hall effect keyboards, which use magnets and sensors rather than ...
