Abstract
Arrangements herein are directed to pin state detection systems and arrangements for using such systems. A pin detection system can include a pin. The pin can be in one of multiple states, such as a depressed state and an undepressed state. The system can include a transmit coil and a receive coil that encircles the pin. The system can also include a processing system that causes a transmit signal to be transmitted to the transmit coil. The processing system can analyze a signal received from the receive coil to determine a state of the pin.
