Darn! I was sure that StampWorks did, but I can't find it if it does. The Melexis Hall Effect device is dirt simple and I have seen wiring diagrams SOMEWHERE. I will continue to look.
I know it is dirt simple because I bought several of them and I would not have done that if they were anything BUT dirt simple.
Perhaps, one of the folks on this board that can easily answer your question will.
Well, I found the attached schematic at the Melexis site. It is simple, but I figure that a Parallax text would have a more detailed discussion possibly with hints and tricks.
Hall effects typically come on two styles - digital and analog (linear). Digital is easy, supply power, read the output, BUT many have open collector outputs so you need a pull-up resistor on the output to see the high.
The analog version you'll need to being into an ADC or op-amp compatator.
Ok, I see now you have a fairly complex one with digital data output.· I'd have to look closer.· Do you need one that complex?· Are you usingit for simple counting, or actual flux measurement?
Double-duh on me! I did not see the schematic THIS TIME! I have read that article several times and that is doubtless where I saw the schematic, as well. I read it earlier today, looking for the schematic that for some reason I could not see!
