Abstract
A magnetic sensor may include a set of elements to detect a set of magnetic field strengths of a magnetic field generated by a magnet, and determine, based on the set of magnetic field strengths, a state of an object with respect to multiple degrees of freedom of object movement. The magnet may be connected to the object such that a center of the magnet is offset from an axis of rotation of the object and such that the magnet is angled with respect to a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation when the object is in an un-tilted position. The magnetic sensor may be substantially centered on the axis of rotation of the object when the object is in the un-tilted position.
