Re: Alternative to limit switches?

Sparks,
That is true for most of the prepackaged sensors but the actual Hall effect device is much like an optical transistor. The magnetic field will cause an increase in current in the transistor or send it into saturation. Individual Hall transistors are available if you look for them. Interfacing is then up to you.
