Modded my X52 pro - it's another stick!!

Well I have a long standing technical background but its a bit out of date.

1. Can I simply buy the 'right' hall sensor and wire it in in place of the pot or 2. Does it need some kind of interface/driver?

If the answer to question 1 is Yes, where do I get the sensors and magnets?
If the answer to question 2 is Yes, well I guess that's a dead idea

You need to get a ratiometric, linear hall sensors like Allegro A1302. They come in three prongs just like the pots. Wire them the same way.

Do a google search for Allegro A1302, you should get some places that sell them, I know that Jameco sells them. Magnets should be neodymium - you can pick those up at craft stores such as Michael's.

Yeah me too.. but I am too lazy to do the hard work.. that's why I like the X-52.. it is so modular. On the X-45 I had to do a lot of splicing and soldering.. But nothing like some of the stuff Sokol was doing.. Hey Sokol I found some of those pics on an older drive from some of those X-45 mods you were showing a few years back..
