DualSense Potentiometer to Magnetic Sensor Conversion

I’m testing out converting the potentiometer-based joysticks to non-contact magnetic sensors. I’ll be putting GuliKit TMR sensors on an original Alps potentiometer joystick. I’ll also be putting Favor Union Hall sensors on a Favor Union potentiometer joystick. And then see how well it turns out. I will also look at the effect of the DualSense speaker on the magnetic sensors.
