Physical partGoals1. Measure the field of a tiny magnet attached to

the upper eyelid

2. Establish the voltages of 4 Hall probes located on the device

o The voltages are indicative to the motion of the magnet

3. Inverse algorithm that establishes the motion from the voltage measurements

1 - Signal Characterization

Hall probe sensor

1. The strength of the magnet’s field varies with the distance

2. A voltage is applied to the sensor which returns a voltage that is linear with the strength of the magnetic field

3. If properly calibrated, the system’s voltage represents the distance between the magnet and the sensor

Solution- Probe planeB1=f(r1,r3)B3=f(r1,r3)

r1=h(B1, B3)r3=h(B1, B3)

Once “r1 “ and “r3“ are determined, knowing “d” makes the location of the magnet a trivial geometric problem
