Magneto

Magneto sensors provide real-time magnetic-field data for proximity, position, rotation feedback, and orientation in embedded and robotics projects. They fit security, automation, navigation, and sensing tasks where non-contact sensing matters.

The range includes Hall-effect devices with latched or non-latched outputs, magnetometers for three-axis field sensing, digital compasses that provide heading data, reed switches for simple, contactless switching, and compact imaging approaches to visualise magnetic fields.

With options ranging from small micro-modules to multi-axis breakout boards, the key considerations are sensitivity, the number of measurement axes, output interfaces (I2C/SPI or digital), and ease of integration.

Reliability, low power, and form factor compatibility influence how they fit into space-constrained robotics or automation projects, and they complement other sensing and control components.
