I have a pile of different generic electric bike throttles purchased from several online sellers. They all arrived about a week ago. I have a goal of using them to make the basic model of an electric ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

The TMAG5134 in-plane Hall-effect switch from TI offers a cost-effective alternative to magnetoresistive (MR) sensors for position sensing. An integrated magnetic concentrator enables detection of ...

Have you ever found yourself battling against your own controller rather than the game itself? Joystick drift is a common issue that plagues many PS5 users, causing characters to move without any ...

After dealing with years of widespread reports of "stick drift" on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...
