Hall Effect Sensor Joystick

Hall effect joystick have many variant.

Hall effect sensor joystick.

An arduino micro reads the sensors and converts the analog signal to usb. The design is such that any degradation to the led light sources by time or temperature are compensated by a patented redundant differential light sensor design within the optical joystick thus having zero effect on its. Long trouble free life is assured with the latest hall effect technology providing a range of analog signals or custom pwm output options. To get enough conneciton points for 5vdc and gnd we need jumpers off the incoming usb connector.

In order to compatible with arduino it should be powered by 5v and output 2 axis analog values in the range within 0 5v. Frequently a hall sensor is combined with threshold detection so that it acts as and is. This a special version of arduino that can emulate as a usb hid joystick. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.

A third hall effect sensor is used to measure a throttle stick positioned on the side of the box. An alternative joystick solution is the as5013 hall effect ic from ams which uses a tiny moving magnet to determine x y position. With a class leading installed depth of 20mm it is available in 1 2 or 3 axis formats. A hall effect sensor or simply hall sensor is a device to measure the magnitude of a magnetic field its output voltage is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength through it.

Remove the board from the joystick so it can be modified. The as5013 is a complete solution that contains five sensors and a processing engine making integration with a host processor quite easy. The 3000 series also delivers. Hall effect sensors are used for proximity sensing positioning speed detection and current sensing applications.

The hall effect sensors require a full 5vdc to operate properly but the joystick only supplies about 4 2 v to the pots so we ll need to rewire things a bit.
