Hall Sensor SS495A does not work.
Posted: Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:22 pmHello everyone,,
I'm a bit desprate.
First of all, I'm from Germany, so I have to deal with the hall sensor I can get here easily.
Somewhere used the SS495A and got good results.
internet cafe near me gaming
So i brought one, and tested it quick on a breadboard, before I even made the case for my megadrum kit.
The hall sensor and the neodym magnet worked. I was happy.
Ok, the range did't fit, but I have to adjust it, when it is in a case.
Now I put the megadrum kit, with the positional sensing board in a proper housing.
Before I wanted to solder in the hall sensor in its own housing, I tested its function again with a breadboard.
Nothing happend.
I double checked everything.
I looked up in the data sheet of the SS495, i got the pins right.
I traced the wires from pins on the hall sensor to the pins on the positional sensing board.:
V+ -> pin 40
V- -> GND
Output - > pin 38
It is all as it should be, but it does nothing at all.
Nothing.
I even unplugged the positional sensing board ( the jumper in mind) and tried it, again nothing.
Oh jeah, I even got another SS495, just in case I damaged the first one. The same: nothing.
Has anyone any clue?
Or can anyone recoment a good hihat controller?
Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, the cheap Millenium Stuff?
Thx.
