Adjustable weapon sight system and method of control

A weapon sight system comprising:

• a weapon sight comprising
• a body;
• a controller enclosed within the body;
• a light source enclosed within the body and in electronic communication with the controller, the controller being arranged to control the light source to generate a reticle image;
• and
• a Hall effect sensor disposed within the weapon sight and in electronic communication with the controller;
• wherein the weapon sight comprises a recess formed proximate the Hall effect sensor;
• and
• a magnetic input tool, the magnetic input tool including a tip shaped to correspond to the recess, the tip including a magnet;
• wherein the Hall effect sensor is arranged to generate an input signal when the tip of the magnetic input tool is received in the recess;
• and
• wherein the controller is operable to adjust a user-selectable setting associated with the reticle image in response to receiving the input signal generated by the Hall effect sensor.

A method for controlling a weapon sight having a Hall effect sensor, the method comprising:

• generating, by a controller in electronic communication with a light source, a first reticle image at an optical element, the first reticle image having a first reticle design, a first brightness profile, a first azimuth setting and a second elevation setting;
• receiving, by the controller, an input signal generated by the Hall effect sensor, the input signal representing a user input presenting a magnet in proximity to the Hall effect sensor, the magnet being of an input tool that is separate from the weapon sight;
• adjusting, by the controller, a user-selectable setting in response receiving the input signal generated by the Hall effect sensor, wherein the user-selectable setting is one of:
• a brightness profile setting, a reticle design setting, an azimuth adjustment setting, an elevation adjustment setting, or combinations thereof;
• and
• generating, by the controller, a second reticle image, different from the first reticle image by the adjusted user-selectable setting.
