Anyone have experience with analog Hall Sensors?
I'm in the initial prototyping stage for a little hobby project where I need to be able to detect several different objects in near proximity to several sensors. For cost and durability purposes I was considering using some small neodymium magnets in the objects and linear (analog) Hall sensors for detecting their presence. NOTE: My electrical skills are middling at best.

So my question is: if I have several objects that hold their magnets at the same distance from the sensors and I rotate the magnets in each of these objects, can a reasonably-priced (under $10/ea) Hall sensor detect the difference in rotation of the magnets with sufficient resolution to be able to correctly identify each piece by the voltage it produces from the sensor?

Cheers.
