He’s a basic user (lvl 1) now, so PM should be available to him.
But you’re right that he was lvl 0 before that last post

Well, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder… 
I can never not think about him…

Mr Toll: et al.
RE: Hall sensor and Pro Micro. How far can they be separated if I’m using conductors from CAT5 cable (which I think are ~24gauge)?
Thanks
I haven’t tried more than 20-30cm. I would imagine that longer wires will mean more noise that needs to be filtered out.
thank you sir
Another question that i probably knew the answer to at one time but no longer recall: RE: the Pro Micro; how many Hall sensors can it support?
If you are using MMJoy2, the limit is 8 axes, which also is the limit for a windows game controller.
You are Encyclopedia Brown; thanks once again…
Not a new project question but one concerning an existing one - the ‘haptic feedback’ thing…
I’m getting ‘noise’ in my headset now (just started within the last few days) when the my seat shaker, well, shakes; the more intense the effect the louder it is.
Reminds me of the old days when you’d hear the ignition system (back when cars had points) ‘popping’ on your radio. So, I’m sure it’s something electrical but all I’ve done, nears as I can tell, recently, is update my sound drivers. Realtek drivers. That can’t be it surely. Any thoughts?
Now not only can I feel elephants dancing on the wings, I can hear them too - wearing tap shoes…“click, click, click…”
Check to see if all wires of the seatshaker are properly connected, a ground wire wiggling loose can be conductive to creating noise!

Could you have introduced a ground loop problem, like I had…?
How does the soundcard connect to the DAC?
What if you connect the DAC to a sound source that isn’t connected to your PC (Phone, stereo, MP3). Do you still hear the shakers in your headset?

Now it’s intermittent. Hate that. Will try your suggestions. Thanks.

They used this effect to detect traffic on the Ho Chi Minh trail.
And page 47 of this document:
This implies you’d have to shield the seat shakers and the system powering them. Make sure the fields it’s generating don’t get to interfere with your audio leads.

I could use a little help with a project I’m working on. I’ve built a helicopter joystick setup using 4 tle5010’s and a pro micro. I’ve come across an issue with the resistors on the MISO line. I saw you’ve addressed this in another post but I could use clarification. I’ve had all the sensor mounted resistors removed except one, and a 10k resistor installed on the pro micro between VCC and MISO. This was working great until I ripped the USB port of the pro micro. After replacing the board, im back to having link errors on the other three sensors. I then removed the resistor on the rudder which only caused that sensor to join in the link error issue. I would appreciate any tips on what to try next.
Hi Hotlink and welcome to Mudspike! 
The only thing I can think of is that the new Pro Micro has a faulty voltage regulator. Check that you’re getting 5V in the VCC. You could also check that the 10K resistor isn’t busted.
@Sokol1, do you have any ideas?
Thanks for the response! Voltage looks good and 10k resistor seems to be okay. I decided to put the resistors back on the sensors one at a time. Now, two of the sensors have resistors and two don’t and its working great. I don’t understand this stuff enough to know why, but if it works, it works!
