These Sensors are Way Under Priced, But Please Wait!

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

I ordered six of these and realized that I really only needed five, but thought "What the heck, I'll keep one for a spare", assuming that these might only have twice the reliability of the micro switches on my Shapeoko 3xxl. Well it's been some time now, and these sensors are still going strong. They are the perfect solution for a dusty environment because they don't depend on light or mechanical means to work. I would assume they might be a touch less sensitive if they were coated in an inch of dust, but even I am not that messy to allow such a thing to happen!

The holders fit very snugly and the magnets are very strong, but me being a belt and suspenders type of guy, I placed a drop of hot glue on both when I mounted them. I just felt that it was a very easy thing to do for my piece of mind. I was looking at other alternatives up to making my own when I saw this video on YouTube and decided to take a look. The price was very reasonable to the point that I couldn't make my own for less. They arrived very quickly. So quickly that I didn't realize what the package could be until I opened it. I really expected it to take another week.

Thanks again for a truly quality product for a reasonable price!

Thank you it's great to hear you experiences with the sensors meets your needs. I try to get orders out the door within 24 hours.

Excellent Product, Very Useful, and Well Made!

For Arduino Breadboard Shield 400

I was nicely surprised at the high quality. Perhaps I should not be because almost all Tindie Vendors see their product as an expression of pride. I bought two of these and they work very well. They fit onto my generic clone Arduino Uno's. Others have pointed out the LED (D13) is wired opposite what the Uno is but I'm sure the author had a reason. I was not able to find (or missed an email) on some basic documentation. It is not too difficult to read the board legends and figure out where SW1 & SW2 as well as the auxiliary LED's are attached. With an attached breadboard, this product eases those "throw it together in a hurry" times when you just want to see if the display, sensor, motor driver, or whatever works before committing to a final layout. I am very pleased with this product and long for a version to support the Mega2560 variant.

Thank you for the feed back, there is some documentation that will be posted to the web page. Check back in about a week. As for a Mega version it is in the works not sure what the demand would be.
