Info about Hall effect connection

Actually the magnet without the magnet Have 2.15 volts and 4.10 volts with maximum magnet near

such settings can be adjusted to works good?

my model is 1302 by Allegro Microsystems

i think yours value are not good for my sensor... i have different tension of working


thanks and sorry for my english

hmmn. well that the voltage goes up.. when near. you can flip the magnet over and it will go the opposite way. (or you can leave it and set the 'levels reverse' in the megadrum (easer to flip the magnet over).

but also it seems strange.. with no magnet the sensor is supposed to be half of the supply voltage ie close to 2.5v (with supply voltage 5v) maybe your sensor has some stray magnetic field near it (eg like the magnet has magnetised the highhat shaft?) when the hat is open position?

Yes the sensor is on around 5 volt of power source


without magnet the sensor misure 2.15, and when i put the magnet near increase the value, for max 4.10


Actually not is a problem for my position, i have tested the megadrum with superior drummer and the charlestone controller works good

But the high and low level are same right? or are inverted?


With big VU meter when the magnet is near at the sensor the meter run for left ( or down with normal screen without big vu meter)

is right?

You could definitely make it work that way but it seems inverted from my perspective, but as I said just flip over the magnet for opposite response. It sounds like you are close enough that you could figure it out by experimentation. What is the current state of the issue, probably you have it all working by now anyway? (I hope).
