Hall effect sensors offer a more durable and reliable alternative to potentiometers. These sensors work by detecting changes in magnetic fields to determine the joystick’s position.

It’s something [mircemk] demonstrates, with an Arduino-powered magnetic field strength meter that uses a UGN 3503U Hall effect device. The circuit is extremely simple, comprising the sensor, an ...

GuliKit has unveiled some interesting information on how to avoid Joy-Con drift on Nintendo Switch using its "Hall Joystick" sensors.

TMR is the next step in video game controller technology that promises better accuracy and lower power consumption compared to Hall effect.

It's all about the relative failure rate. My understanding is that drift can and does happen on pretty much any non-Hall joystick, but that the Switch Joy-Cons were particularly susceptible based ...

The Switch was notorious for its Joy-Con stick drift, and Nintendo wants to change that What are Hall-effect joysticks and why are they important for Switch 2?

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...
