Non-contact potensometer
The stick electrically detects the operation information of the pilot and the driver and forwards it to the next process.
To detect the angle of the stick (Gimbal), a conventional variable resistor (potentiometer) is used, and the slider (wiper) moves on the resistor body according to the stick operation, converts its position to voltage and outputs it.
However, because the slider and the resistor rub against each other, there is a small possibility that it will wear out and not be able to detect accurate location information during long-term use.
In order to solve that problem, some products use sensors that can detect location information non-contact.
The principle of non-contact detection is realized by the magnetic field sensor IC detecting the magnetic force of the magnet directly connected to the stick axis and outputting the voltage.
By optimizing the positional relationship between this magnet and the magnetic field sensor IC and selecting a magnetic field sensor IC that meets high-speed response, coupled with the FASSTest method and HPBLS that pursue response, it is an intuitive maneuvering feeling. You can experience it for a long time.
