Yes, it is probably easier to use Blender to make the wedge shape, but to be honest, I am not good with Blender.

Edit: I need to remove the teeth, but leave the wall so that I can glue N52 Diametric magnets. Hopefully the Hall sensor will be able to read the magnets smoothly.

What I want to do is remove the outside gear teeth. Yes, I could try cutting with shapes, but I want to learn this as well.

I used Limited Dissolve to clean it up as best as I could. And now I am stuck. I have looked at a number of YT videos and no luck.

Thanks for reading/Suggestions

Saw this https://cambridgeic.com/products/arc-position-sensors/100deg-arc-sensors

Asked over on hotasdiy and a center position for the hall center was suggested.

I found this Logitech extreme 3d hall sensor mod and posted it a while ago.

Just have to fill the holes so that a pivot can be inserted/ using 3d print. https://www.instructables.com/Logitech-3D-Extreme-Pro-Hall-Effect-Sensor-Convers/

I already have potentiometers, so these would work I think:

The only tricky part now is the Diametric magnet.

I've looked, but none of the answers I found seem to fit? It is annoying TBH.

I dont have a printer, so picking a printer at random doesnt seem to be a good idea?

A "Click here checkbox if you dont have printer" may be a good idea for those of us who dont have/cant have a printer.

Thanks for reading.

I read that I can use a compass to find North on the Magnet. This could be fun.

I found this add on AliX and saw that the seller description was:

Radial MagnetizationRadial Magnetization

And I just want to make sure that I was getting things right.

Thanks

I looked into the DRV5053 as was suggested in my 1st thread. Thanks to that poster.

Eventually with help from Digi-Key it was suggested that I look at the DRV5053EAQLPG as without tapping into/onto the board, the CB can supply around 4 - 4.2 v. Not 5v.

Voltage - Supply 2.7V ~ 38V of the DRV5053EAQLPG

I was looking at the data sheet and found this:

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv5053.pdf?HQS=dis-dk-null-digikeymode-dsf-pf-null-wwe&ts=1778573413316&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fgeneral%252Fdocs%252Fsuppproductinfo.tsp%253FdistId%253D10%2526gotoUrl%253Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Flit%252Fgpn%252Fdrv5053

2.5 V to 38 V power supply. Bypass this pin to the GND pin with a 0.01-μF (minimum)

ceramic capacitor rated for VCC.

This capacitor is mandatory if the power is only 4.2v?

Thanks for reading.

I looked on digikey, but no idea what I am doing really.

I am trying to replace a potentiometer with a hall sensor. The pot only gets 4.0 to 4.2 volts.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Do not know what I do not know.

I am trying to replace at least one pot with a hall sensor.. The howto I want to follow states that the cb does not provide enough voltage for the SS495A. Only around 4.1-4.2v is supplied to the potentiometers. So the OP tapped off a power connection to get the needed volts.

This is where it gets to be a problem: Due to age and other issues soldering is a real problem for me. I am trying do this with no to little soldering..

I tried looking on digikey, but have no idea what I am looking for.

So is there a sensitive 3 leg hall sensor that can read an n52 magnet and function safely on 4.1 to 4.2 volts?

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

I have a monitor stand and I have tightened the M5 bolts very well, but the arms/extensions soon start to rotate around the bolt. The arms are rectangular tube steel. The bolt clips are on the ends of the tubes

The clips that the bolts go through are a type of plastic, so a locking fluid would have to be plastic safe.

Then I thought locking washers like a nord loc?

Finaly I thought longer bolts with a decent sized nut. The supplied bolts are just longet than the rectangular tube.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
