Abstract
A device includes a magnet and a magnetic field sensor configured to sense a magnetic field of the magnet. The magnet and the magnetic field sensor are arranged to be movable relative to each other. A relative movement between the magnet and the magnetic field sensor is based on a movement of a throttle controller of a vehicle. A power provided by a motor of the vehicle correlates to a position of the magnet relative to the magnetic field sensor as sensed by the magnetic field sensor.
Claims19
A device, comprising:
- a first magnet;
- a second magnet;
- and
- a magnetic field sensor movable between the first magnet and the second magnet such that the magnetic field sensor is movable relative to the first magnet and the second magnet, wherein the magnetic field sensor is configured to sense a magnetic field provided by at least one of the first magnet and the second magnet,
- wherein a relative movement between the magnetic field sensor and the first magnet and a relative movement between the magnetic field sensor and the second magnet is based on a movement of a throttle controller of a vehicle, and
- wherein a power provided by a motor of the vehicle correlates to a position of the magnetic field sensor relative to the first magnet and the second magnet as sensed by the magnetic field sensor.
