New Isolated Hall-Effect Sensor To address this dilemma, Texas Instruments introduced the TMCS1123 galvanically isolated Hall-effect current sensor.

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection.

The first video below lays the basic groundwork, with a bunch of experiments with 3-axis Hall effect sensors, specifically the Texas Instruments TMAG5273 and TMAG5170.

The big picture: Analog sticks using Hall effect sensors are nothing new but companies like Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and Valve have yet to incorporate them into their gaming controllers. Stick ...
