We previously tested a Hall effect sensor that, was working, but which gave us a voltage from which we could get the marble’s side. The issue with this is that in the final box, with all the marbles and the coils, we could have had strong pertubations that could alter the data. To avoid this issue we decided to use a sensor that would send the data through a communication protocol that could resist. We chose the TLE493DW2B6A0HTSA1 Infineon Technologies. This sensor sends its data through the I2C protocol so it should resist to our perturbations.

In the components familly, it was time for the Hall effect sensors to be tested.

The sensor:

We used the SS39ET from HonneyWell. This sensor has 3 pins. One is GND, one is Vcc and the last is the output. The output is a voltage proportional to the magnetic field. We choose for Vcc a value of 3.3V.

First tests, let’s use a voltmeter.

To do the first tests we measure the output voltage with a voltmeter. To power the device we used a DC power supply. We also added an ampermeter to measure the current going to the Hall effect sensor.… Read more

For our project, we need to test our components in order to find the best way to control our marble. Good news, our project has been done in other ways before. That’s why we take a look at this webpage: https://wiki.fuz.re/doku.php?id=projets:datapaulette:1bit_textile (in French)

Diameter of the marbles

Our first idea was to choose the smaller marbles, which have a diameter of 5mm. I have some of these marbles at home, so I tried to make a prototype with some cardboard.

Conclusion: my biggest fear was that a marble would move the other marbles when we rolled it (because of a too big magnetic field), but with my prototype, they don’t.… Read more
