I bought a bunch of AH1815-P-B's from Digikey which work a lot better in many cases since they are non-latching.<p>https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/diodes-incorporated/AH1815-P-B/AH1815-P-BDI-ND/5453089</p><p>The only drawback is that the output needs a pull-up resistor, but that too can be useful since it's possible to have multiple sensors share an output. Of course the Arduino can just be configured to have a pullup on the input.</p></p>

Both are ratiometric linear hall effect sensors, which outputs a very nice voltage signal proportional to the magnetic flux it senses. They're designed for rather strong magnetic fields, and would complement the Sparkfun's portfolio for magnetic sensors.<p>Just a hint!</p></p>

Suppose there are two magnets in proximity with different polarities facing out. Passing a latching sensor in one direction produces a positive going pulse (on quickly followed by off), while passing the sensor in the other direction produces a negative pulse (last cycle's on not off until next cycle).</p>
LED addict on COM-09312 - Hall-Effect Sensor - US1881 (Latching)LED addicturn:uuid:1e79f908-b171-0a39-7a8e-f6cbdd1a237f2014-02-02T16:57:15-07:00<p>Ok, so I'm a bit confused on the operation of these, what I'd like to use it for would be an on/off switch for LED throwies. The description and all the other comments say this is a "latching" sensor, my understanding is that if the switch is off, and I bring a magnet near it, it will turn on, but even when I take the magnet away it will stay on, until I bring the magnet back again which will turn it off. So does it just alternate between on and off whenever it gets triggered or am I missing somthing?</p>

Will this type switch work for that application. I would mount the switch (64 of them, 8 x 8) under the board
then, using magnetic chess pieces, the switch would activate when a piece is moved.<p>I need something small and low cost. that can fit in the size of a chess square and work through a small piece of wood or cardboard. a $5 switch would make for an expensive project.
this looks like it would do the trick if it will work through the chess board. I need to get chess pieces with strong magnets.</p><p>per the other users, non-latching would be better for my project.</p></p>

If you set it up so that alternate polarities rotate past a single side of the sensor it should work fine. Usually in tachometers, I would guess non latching types are used because a single fixed magnet can turn the sensor on as it passes and again with each successive pass rather than just once on the first. Earlier someone suggested resetting the sensor by switching the power and then delaying, which is clever for some uses, but would not work for a tachometer higher than 100 rpm, or faster than the minim reset time. Also for anyone else reading, don't think about buying this for a levitator because it can't be done, or maybe I just can't figure out how to. An electromagnet would switch this on or off, and a floating magnet with reverse polarity approaching the reverse side of the sensor would cause no change. I should have thought about that before I purchased this</p>

where SWITCH_PIN goes to the VDD leg. I bring one side of the magnet close, it goes to 1, I pull it away and wait, it usually doesn't drop to 0. Code is naïve on purpose.</p></p>

I needed it to latch on/off when a magnetic field was/was not present, which this is not set up to do by design. But I found a simple way around that...<br>
I am using the sensor with an Arduino, so my implementation may not work for your setup. Instead of providing constant power (5v) to pin 1, I instead connect it to a digital pin that I have set as an output. Pin 2 goes to ground and pin 3 is read as a digital input. Note: As mentioned in other comments, I use a 10k pull-up resistor between power (digital out to pin 1) and output (digital in from pin 3) to get a clear on/off state.<br>
In the loop code, I first set the hall sensor power pin to HIGH and delay for as short as 10ms, read the latched state from it (on/off), and then set the hall sensor power pin to LOW and delay another 10ms.<br>
Cycling the power resets the state of the sensor so you can poll its output to see if the magnetic field (of the polarity that latches it ON) is still present or not. The delays are necessary to give it time to reset, otherwise it will give unexpected results.<br>
This allowed me to make a simple open/closed presence sensor without having to do something funky with the magnet to get it to flip poles each time. I hope this helps!</p>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier_applications#Comparator<br>
V1 comes from the pulled-up Hall sensor output, and V2 comes from a voltage divider set to give 250 mV. The output will go to one rail or the other depending on the sensor's output.<br>
This setup has a couple of advantages. First, it goes all the way to GND and VCC. Second, if you have more than one Hall sensor, it will require only one voltage divider (one op amp per input with the voltage divider's output going to each one).</p>

Then connect the hall effect output (right pin) to both power (Vdd should about 5 volts) through a 10k resister (R1) and to the noninverting input of a 741 op amp. Next connect the inverting input of the op amp to to ground through a 100 ohm resistor (R2) and to the op amp's output through a 10k resistor (R3).<br>
This circuit should amplify the voltage by a factor of 11 (see wikipedia non-inverting amplifier for more detail).<br>
Testing showed the circuit output at 4-5V when the hall effect sensor was latched on and under 2V when latched off. -John Fitz</p>

I tried all kinds of code tweaks and wirings and eventually gave up and went for the much simpler reed switch (which I didn't know existed at first) and now my project works great!<br>

myetrx on COM-09312 - Hall-Effect Sensor - US1881 (Latching)myetrxurn:uuid:9faab256-bdfa-7aea-bdbd-64c8c13a278f2010-04-09T17:52:09-06:00<p>Hi all..<br>
I am new to this forum.<br>
I brought above Hall Effect Sensor from sparkfun & built circuit as per datasheet above, ie "Typical Three-Wire Application Circuit".<br>
I am using normal fridge magnets. Against my expectations, to get 0 & 5V ouput at pin 3 of sensor, I observe only 0 & 0.5V output(Supply voltage +5V DC).<br>
Is it due to normal fridge magnets?<br>
How do I get 0-5V output?<br>
Thanks everybody,<br>

You've got 3 pins from the front (the triangle edge). Left to right, power, ground, output.<br>
Stick a 10k pull up between 5v and output. Then it'll latch on/off depending on the poll you use.<br>
hope that helps</p>

BH on COM-09312 - Hall-Effect Sensor - US1881 (Latching)BHurn:uuid:3d25373b-4ce3-8f7c-4af2-1b70fcd2100f2009-07-30T18:29:14-06:00<p>Yes, the ATS177 is a latching sensor that requires a reverse field to turn it off.<br>
I would like to see the Allegro A1301EUA-T Hall Effect Sensor. It is a continuous-time, ratiometric, linear Hall-effect sensor optimized to accurately provide a voltage output that is proportional to an applied magnetic field. It has a quiescent output voltage that is 50% of the supply voltage and provides 2.5 mV/G.</p>
