Hall-effect sensors exploit the transverse voltage generated when a constant current passes through a semiconductor in the presence of a magnetic field. Integration of these devices in standard CMOS ...

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 ...

A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables engineers to perform non-contact measurement of shaft rotation, detect the ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced a new Hall-effect current sensor for hybrid and electric vehicle traction inverter systems, aiming to improve measurement accuracy while reducing the size and ...

The latest Batman inspired blade update focuses on the electronics behind the movement system. The project uses Hall effect ...

Miri is a creative writer with a passion for gaming and animation. She started gaming way back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis and has been a console gamer ever since. She's currently a ...

This Batman retractable gauntlet project is being refined with stronger mechanical locks and magnetic electronic controls.
