Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a magnetic source for generating a magnetic field; a lever or stick, which can be manually tilted about a reference orientation; a magnetic sensor device for measuring the magnetic field. The magnetic source forms a central opening. The stick includes a ferromagnetic object mounted such that a potential energy of the magnetic field is minimal when the stick is oriented in the reference orientation.
