Hall Sensor

[schuschu]

Hi,

Since the schematic kindly tells me that the hall sensor is not populated I was wondering if it was sufficient to just solder one on the board (since the firmware apparently anyway checks via i2c if its presenet) or are the caps also omitted?

Best,

You _should_ be fine to just attach the sensor.
Not 100% if the caps are emitted but it will probably work without them anyway

I'd like to add a Hall effect sensor.  Which one did you use?
