ESP32 Hall Sensor - Not very sensitive?
Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2017 10:02 pm
Hello!
I have a bit of an issue. When running the Hall Sensor test, the values returned are very small (about 12), fluctuate a lot (±6), and do not change much in the presence of a large magnet (20 when 1cm away, 60 when in contact).
Others are reporting values around 5,200 which vary a lot when around a small magnet (±200). I was hoping to use the hall sensor to detect shaking, but this use is not looking possible, as shaking is not noticable against all of the noise.
What am I doing wrong here?
