Abstract
Techniques for sensing position using a magnetic field direction sensor are provided. In an example, a system can include a magnet, a first magnetic field direction sensor, positioned between the magnet and a magnetic feature of a first structure, the sensor configured to move with the magnet and to measure a direction of a magnetic field produced by the magnet relative to a first axis (x). In certain examples, the magnetic feature is configured change position with respect to the magnetic sensor along the first axis (x) as a relative position between the magnet and the magnetic feature changes with respect to a second axis (y).
