I'm trying to finish off my pedals but I have run into a road block. The TLE 5011 ICs I purchased don't seem to work. You can see at https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=176401 if you are interested.
This is what I have done so far: I flashed a Pro Micro and tested it with A1302 hall sensors as I am planning on using them for my toe brakes. The A1302 IC's have worked great so far. I then went and copied a PCB for the TLE 5011 sensor I found in an earlier post in this thread. I redesigned it so the sensor sits directly over the centre of axis where the magnet will be placed. Here is the PCB I made: TLE 5011-3 by John Wall, on Flickr TLE 5011-4 by John Wall, on Flickr
To continue, I soldered up the TLE 5011 including the resistors and caps to the PCB I made as you saw above. I started the configurator and flashed the board using B2 for the axis and set it to 12 bit precision. Then I tested it. I used the VKB joystick tester but there was nothing to indicating the sensor was being affected by the magnet. It was flatlined. Since I purchased 5 TLE5011's, I tried several more but not one worked. So I went to the protoboard and rebuilt the circuit and tried again with this simple PCB (see below) that I had left over from the RS485 bus I was building. This time I didn't use any resistors or caps. I just wanted to get some kind of signal to verify it worked. TLE 5011 1 by John Wall, on Flickr
However it was the same as before... Nada! The A1302's are working just fine but the TLE5011 seem dead.
