01Introduction#
The Raksham Labs DRV5055A2 Hall Sensor Breakout Board is a three-pin module that exposes a linear, ratiometric Hall-effect sensor on a solder-friendly carrier with a power LED. It is intended for engineers who need a continuous magnetic-field reading into a microcontroller ADC, not a digital switch state.
02Who this is for#
- UAV firmware engineers measuring rotor position or throttle linkage angle
- Robotics teams building gimbals, joints, and steering feedback loops
- Test engineers characterising magnets, electromagnets, or solenoids
- Students and tinkerers learning analog sensor interfacing
03What's in the box#
- 1x DRV5055A2 breakout board (14.5 x 11.5 mm)
- 1x 3-pin 2.54 mm pitch right-angle header, unsoldered
- Quick-start card with pinout reference
First-time users
Read Wiring and integration and Calibration before you power the board for the first time. The output is analog, not a logic level, so your firmware must read an ADC rather than a GPIO.
