Pinecil Only
Optional Hall Effect Feature: Pinecil has a footprint (unpopulated U14) on the PCB for a hall effect sensor (Si7210). Pinecil will sleep the moment it enters the stand and ZZzz appears on the screen. After installing the sensor, a magnet is positioned on the stand close enough to the sensor to activate one of 9 settings.
- 9 = high sensitivity to small magnets...1 = low sensitivity.
- 9 = high sensitivity to small magnets ... 1 = low sensitivity.
- Setting of 1 might be used by someone who solders on PCBs with magnets and does not wish Pinecil to auto-sleep constantly. They would also need to use a very strong/large neomydium magnet on the stand to activate the sensor sleep mode.
- Setting of 9 would be useful if you only had a small magnet and are not concerned about Pinecil falsely triggering sleep mode near items like magnetized screwdrivers.
- Neodymium magnets are recommended. If using small magnets, multiple may be required, but too many can also be detrimental - watch the Debug hall number.
