ScoutMakes DRV5011 Digital Magnetic Hall Effect Sensor

This is a breakout for the Texas Instruments DRV5011 Digital Magnetic Latch Hall Effect Sensor. It is the perfect way to add magnetic sensing to your project. It looks and sounds a lot like the DRV5032 but this version has a latching output.

 The sensor has a digital output that goes LOW when a south-side magnetic field is detected, and will stay low until a north-side field is detected, then it goes back HIGH. This makes it great for detecting a rotating magnet since you'll get nice clean pulses on the transition from N to S and S to N. However, it's not great for detecting when there's no magnetic field. For that, pick up the DRV5032

The breakout comes with a 3-pin header for breadboard use. This board has a simple plug-and-play JST PH (2mm pitch) 3-pin input connector for solderless use. This cable is sold separately but is not needed to use the board.

Note: this breakout board may come with either a black or tan JST-PH connector.
