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 ...

Early in the study of electronics we are introduced to magnetism. The lines of force can be demonstrated by iron filings on a sheet of paper with a magnet underneath. In school science class, we made ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

Competitive gamers look for every advantage they can get, and that drive has spawned some of the zaniest gaming peripherals under the sun. There are plenty of hardware components that actually offer ...

Current sensors based on the well-known Hall effect are widely used in industrial applications, including motor and load control, inverter and H-bridge current measurements, power factor correction ...
