Abstract
A device is mounted with a capability for angular movement in a mounting unit, the movement being detected by an element that is able to send electrical signals within a processing unit. The element consist of a single 2D Hall-effect sensor able to measure the rotations of the magnetic field, the sensor being mounted in close proximity to a dual magnet to measure two rotations of the lever in two planes, each corresponding to the P, R, N, D and M+, M and M− positions.
