Hall Effect Sensor Joystick

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.

Hall effect sensor joystick.

An alternative joystick solution is the as5013 hall effect ic from ams which uses a tiny moving magnet to determine x y position. This a special version of arduino that can emulate as a usb hid joystick. Long trouble free life is assured with the latest hall effect technology providing a range of analog signals or custom pwm output options. A third hall effect sensor is used to measure a throttle stick positioned on the side of the box.

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. The as5013 is a complete solution that contains five sensors and a processing engine making integration with a host processor quite easy. We have seen quite a few diy joystick designs that use hall effect sensors but akaki s controller designs youtube video embedded below really make the most of 3d printing to avoid the need. In order to compatible with arduino it should be powered by 5v and output 2 axis analog values in the range within 0 5v.

Remove the board from the joystick so it can be modified. To get enough conneciton points for 5vdc and gnd we need jumpers off the incoming usb connector. The optical joystick has only advantages over the inductive joystick hall effect joystick and potentiometer joystick. 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.

Frequently a hall sensor is combined with threshold detection so that it acts as and is. Hall effect sensors are used for proximity sensing positioning speed detection and current sensing applications. Hall effect joystick have many variant. With a class leading installed depth of 20mm it is available in 1 2 or 3 axis formats.

The 3000 series also delivers.
