Bend Sensor Breakout Board for String Instruments

Breakout board Kicad design files for guitar string bend sensors based on NVE AAT001 Tunnel Magnetoresistive angle sensing technology

The board integrates an AAT001 sensor and an amplifier for both sine and cosine componets and is supposed to be used in conjunction with N42 neodymium magnets. Design files for laser cutting a magnet holder for 3x4mm magnets suitable for an electric guitar with string spacing of 52mm have been included.
