Re: Eighty Three year old needs help in adding Hall effect sensors to DIY machine
There seems to be some confusion on the definition, there are five types of electronic proximity sensors, these include Capacitive, Inductive, Magnetic, Optical, and Ultrasonic.
The most common, inductive (Hall) proximity sensors, uses the Hall effect also.
The change in the effect on an oscillator when a selected material is brought close to the sensor.
It would seem the OP has selected linear versions, which are not suitable for this application.
