Instructions to Install Hall Effect Sensor (HES)
- The Hall Effect Sensor (HES) is an optional end user installed sensor that activates to put pinecil to sleep when it enters a holder or stand. This requires a magnet attached to the stand. The closet the HES in the pinecil is to the magnet, the more likely the HES will activate. This adds a feature to Pinecil that is often seen in high end pro irons.
- See this article explaning how the Hall Effect Sensor (HES) works with Pinecil.
- Supplies: get some neodymium magnets, even just two 8x2.7mm at 8:00PM and 12:00PM on the stand could be enough. Experimentation is needed. Start with just one small magnet and increase the number places on the stand until 360° sleep is activated when the pinecil hits the stand.
- If the stand/holder is not metal, one could hot glue or tape magnets to it.
