We’ll beat everyone to the punch: yes, actually building a working Turing machine, especially one that uses a Raspberry Pi, is probably something that would have pushed [Alan Turing]’s … ...
Hall effect sensors are slowly taking over the world of gaming peripherals, but what are they and do they actually make a difference?
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.
New Isolated Hall-Effect Sensor To address this dilemma, Texas Instruments introduced the TMCS1123 galvanically isolated Hall-effect current sensor.
Graphene-based Hall sensors represent a significant advancement in magnetic field measurement by harnessing the exceptional electrical and mechanical properties of graphene.
Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game results.
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 ...
Melexis has introduced a linear Hall sensor for use as a current sensor. With its fast response time and improved stability over operating temperature and over lifetime, the MLX91209CA ...
All importantly, however, both have Hall effect sensors under the thumbsticks and triggers, which should make them stick-drift immune.
