Hall Effect installation help

[Sierra99]

Gentlemen,

 

This week I accquired a Suncom F-15E Talon and SFS Throttle tha I plan to upgrade and convert to USB using Leo Bodnar boards and parts. While some things are straight forward, I am confused about installing Hall effect sensors. Everything I search for on the net shows how they "work" but not actual installations. Can anyone help with pics of installations to give me a better idea of options?

 

Thanks in advance

Gary

Hi, here are couple of examples.

On this one the magnets are steady and the sensor moves with the stick.

I've mostly used this type of installation where the sensor is steady inside a tube and the magnets rotate around the sensor. The benefit of this one is that it gives almost linear response within about 40 degrees of rotation.

 

Hope these give some ideas. I think there are other ways to do it but I think these are the most useful ones.

Here is one more link to the Gene's hall sensor mod from simhq. It has some good discussion on page two about the principles on how to apply it to a joystick which has quite small angle to measure.

Edit: Also this one has good info about the linearity issue around the midpart of the article.
