Interesting concept. Who did the tutorial? Would love to put that in our tutorial area, can we get permission?

I dont know the person who put that pdf together , here is another link regading hall http://www.cubpilotshangar.net/page24.html , So i cant really say yes or no to puting this in tutorial section , dunno the policys here. looks like another option insted of pots though?? just think there would be no wear & tear on the hardware..;) cheers Riche

This looks like an excellent concept and one that I'd love to try. I wonder if these sensors would work with pretty much any interface? FDS SYS3?

At 11CAD a pop you cant go wrong

I first saw this tutorial on the frugalsworld.com forum, but it was also posted on the Ubisoft forum for IL2 Sturmovik. The designer and builder uses the tag "Julian625". A quick search of the Ubisoft forum for IL2 found this entry in the General Discussion area: http://http://forums.ubi.com/eve/for...3231057376/p/1

I was so impressed with Julian625's concept, I found him elsewhere and asked him if we can post it in our tutorial area. Of course he accepted :)

You can find it here, look for julian635's tutorials: http://mycockpit.org/tutorials/browsecategory.php?c=6

A hall sensor will work in just about anyplace you have a pot. Hans Krohn put them in all his flight controls some time ago and swares by them. I am looking at trying them in mine as well. I will have to look at where you guys are seeing them for 11CAD..... The ones I was looking at where a lot more then that.

The Allegro A1301 linear Hall sensor is a cheap entry into experimenting with hall sensors. See the May 5 and March 25 entries here: http://www.mikesflightdeck.com/ for some thoughts on using these sensors in a rotary position sensing application.
