Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

The last week of the release continued the same “lots of small fixes” trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I’ve tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it’s a lot of AI tool ...

Sensor Sense: Hall-effect current sensors

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Switch 2 joysticks won’t use Hall effect sensors to avoid stick drift

It's all about the relative failure rate. My understanding is that drift can and does happen on pretty much any non-Hall joystick, but that the Switch Joy-Cons were ...
