hall sensor for hihat input wiring diagram.

Oh, yeah ... These are old pics.

This is today, the small table and the smal 24" TFT are out of order.
It was difficult to look an the screen to the side.

Now, just the 2 on the desk and the 47" LED I love it.

Remember, all cheap components, except Robs devices - of course - and the 3 CY-5 Roland cymbals.
This Gear4Music Sample Pad is awesome!
The routing is done - if I want to do some live looping - thru Ableton Live and the Novation Launch Pad mini ... I really like coloured lights and buttons - and screens.

Coming back to the topic:

And: Last new part of gear: my new hihat controller using a 0,68 € hall sensor! hahaha! Baaaaam!

PS: I tried a cheap buttkicker, and also that part stays here. It feels like on a huge stage ...

I'm on this page trying to choose a magnet(s).

Any recommendation ?

Also, I'm planning to buy this wall mount to power it, but would it easy / cheap to power it with a battery or the power would get low too often ?

That power supply looks like a good choice. That sensor is very sensitive so you might not need as powerful magnet as you might think.

jup, Rob was faster ... that's it.

I would like to mention those USB power supplies ... if you have a USB port available.

Thank you both for the replies.

The power supply seems nice. So if I understand, one would place it in a project box and wires is thing inside it?

The only downside is that the shipping time is too long for me

If you can get you hands on an old hard drive and you have Torx screw drivers take it apart and pull the magnets from the drive's moveable arms. I the magnets are always glued to a metal base. I put the base in a clamp and use a small hammer and chisel. It only takes a little force to pop them off. Once in a while I break the magnet but that happens only rarely.
