When operating industrial machinery, precision and accuracy are vital to a productive and safe working environment. Commonly, joysticks are used to aid in the maneuvering of heavy equipment for a ...

Tired of stick drift ruining your controllers? Here's what hall effect actually means and whether it's worth upgrading for ...

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 ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds deceptively simple. There’s a metal plate with current flowing across it in one ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

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 ...

Controllers with Hall effect technology have been gaining ground in recent years, and for good reason. They offer greater precision and customization options than first-party gamepads, and the nature ...

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 ...

I’m admittedly not huge Switch fan, but my kids are - we have 1 original and 2 lites in our household. But as more details arise, the Switch 2 is less and less compelling. Let’s call it $500 (trariff ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. After improving hard drives, tunneling magnetoresistance technology could put an end to joystick drift. After ...
