Great product! Very kind and fast service.

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

I had purchased this Hall Effect Sensor with a couple of questions and I was completely satisfied and thankful for the quick responses from the seller. Thanks again!

Sensor and after-sales support are top notch

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

The sensor works great. The seller went above and beyond helping me to get everything working correctly.

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.

Response from Solder / Filament Solutions | Sept. 11, 2018

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.

Best breadboard I found. Had 2 problems though.

For Arduino Breadboard Shield 400

Best breadboard I found. Had 2 problems though. The standard LED on the breadboard board is inverted from the one on the Arduino board. When one is on, the other is off. The holes in the voltage rails don't line up with the holes on the main breadboard. They are half way between the holes on the main breadboard. If you insert a component with thick square legs, then it is difficult to insert into the misaligned holes.

Love this breadboard shield

For Arduino Breadboard Shield 400

Already have too and getting ready to order a third for my projects. Lots of room for bread boarding. Avoids me having to swap components on a shield. Just swap shields and up and running

Well made, professional and cool.

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

Great product, preformed as advertised. Made a big difference in my cnc’s Performance. No more false triggers. Seller provided immediate support to answer my questions. Would recommend to all cnc owners.

Great item and awesome customer support

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

I ordered the limit switches for a cnc machine I am working on. Michael was extremely helpful and went way beyond supplying the sensors. I can't say enough about his help.

Thanks again,

Amazing!

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

This is a very nice upgrade to your machine, and this sensor is very well made! Customer support is also amazing!

I use them on a 1000mm X-Carve. Loving them!

I made this 3D mounts inspired by some provided my the author, this however fit more snug.

Great Prototype Shield

For Arduino Breadboard Shield 400

This is a high quality board. I bought two with the matching breadboards. Very professional board layout and clever, compact design. I will use these for motor and LED PWM control design development. I will certainly buy more in the future, just to have them on hand. Highly recommended!

Great addition to my CNC

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

I bought 6 of the sensors with the bases and magnets at a great price. I have just fitted them to my X-Carve 1000mm and more than happy with them after breaking heaven knows how many micro switches which I got from Inventables.
The sensors are well built and fit perfectly into the bases, only one needed a little dab of hot glue to secure it. I did a full strip down of my machine as I wanted to change the wiring to shielded on my stepper motors ( not necessary for the sensors, I had the cable so used it :D ) and fit a new base board with clamping points rather than using double sided tape on the old one as it had a few router tracks in it as I was getting familiar with the machine. Wiring I used was Cat 5 computer cable which has twisted pair wires which helps with interference if you use the standard Inventables spindle, not so important with the De Walt but would advise it anyway. I had built a housing for all the electronics with detachable connectors and an emergency stop button which when I first ran the homing cycle my hand was hovering over!! No need to worry, the sensors all worked first time and the homing is repeatable with unerring accuracy. Worked straight away in Easel and GRBL with no problems at all. Michael Omiccioli was very quick to reply to my emails regarding installation and was very helpful and courteous.
In my opinion these sensors are a must have for your CNC, great for homing and even more so for prevention of rail crashes. Do yourself a favour and get yourself some, you won't regret it :D (please note the spelling of favor, I am an Englishman living in the USA and cannot get used to spelling it differently :p )

Good product. Needs a way to mount to X-Carve CNC

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

My only criticism of this sensor is that there is no convenient way to mount it to the x,y, & z axis of the machine. Perhaps a clip with a hole for mounting would help. The sensor could be snapped into the clip after it's mounted to the machine. Otherwise, great product.

Erik | April 20, 2017

Absolutely Awesome!

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

I have been using these limit switches on my X-Carve for some time now and have been completely satisfied with them. They have worked every time they needed to and I have had no false triggers. I ordered a second set to put on my 3D printer and I am just as pleased . The switches work well and the results are repeatable, which is key. If I need more for another machine I will get them without a doubt.

Great Seller Great Product

For Magnetic Sensor (Hall Effect)

I have tested the sensors and they all work as they should. The only complaint that I can have is the shipping. USPS lost my package half way here. Seller was prompt on communication and resolved the situation quickly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
