Hall sensor

[Keith Baxter]

Hi
As the thread says. Which one? And why. Thoughts please.

Good find Keith, never thought of such component, will be useful for me to revive a 3 axis throttle, coming from an original PFC device a friend gave me months ago, because the whole device was out of service. Just the price seems a bit high, as I would need 3 of them, but definitely interesting product

I have no idea to answer your question though, I have to investigate myself and I guess the default would be the ABZ one

Gilles,

Yes I am building Karl's MTU and I need 4 of them. He uses them instead of limit switches for the NEMA 17 steppers.

Did some printings already and now to order the electronics. Just want to make sure I get the correct ones that AM will use.

@Ralph can do a hardware instrument example for us using a hall sensor and a nema 17 stepper driven by a TB6600.

I've browse through Karl's parts and seen he already made a huge and amazing work together with nice DIY sharing
Did you used PLA or other ?

Gilles,

Most is PLA, but there are some prints that are PTEG for gears and the NEMA 17 mounts.
Very nice design and uses lots of bearings so everything runs nice and smooth.

Indeed already nice result Keith, even if it take time to build
With PTEG for the gears, is there still needs to add synthetic grease or similar, or rather no friction at all, without any issue through time ?

Gilles,

I use mostly silicon spray on almost everything.

Hi,

You know me, always trying to do a hack.

These hall sensors are not cheep. What else could one use????

What about the good old encoder?

I'm not sure what that TB6600 is, how that thing has to be controlled...?
