Question: if you position a couple magnets around a Hall sensor, exactly how much of a complete rotation can the sensor read? IOW, if you rotate the sensor (or the magnets around the sensor) 360*, will you get a relatively linear resistance curve out of the sensor? I'm guessing if you started with the sensor in a position to read lowest (lowest resistance, basically), then at 180* the resistance would be highest, and as you continued the rotation, resistance would start going down again until returning to the original starting point. No?<br>
<br>
If Hall sensors work something like this, then I think I may have a very interesting use for them.<br>
