### Optional Hall Effect Feature (Pinecil only):
Inside the Sleep Menu is an additional type of sleep setting. Pinecil has an unpopulated footprint (U14) for a hall effect sensor (Si7210). It is possible with the hall sensor to trigger Pinecil to go to sleep after it enters the stand, and ZZzz will appear on the screen. After installing the hall sensor, a magnet is positioned on the stand close enough to the sensor to activate one of nine user selectable settings.

After installing the hall sensor, a magnet is positioned on the stand close enough to the sensor to activate one of ten user selectable settings.
- 0 = off, 1 = 1000, 2 = 750, 3 = 500, 4 = 250, 5 = 150, 6 = 100, 7 = 75, 8 = 50, 9 = 25 (9 has the highest sensitivity to magnets)
- Setting of 1 might be used if you solder on PCBs with magnets and do not wish Pinecil to auto-sleep constantly. And a very strong/large magnet would be required 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 magnetized items/tools.
