I was playing around with a Honeywell SS490 Series Standard Miniature Ratiometric Linear Hall-Effect Sensor, SS495A, and took a small toroid core and cut a small section out that was just barely big enough for the hall device to fit into. Glued it in place and let the glue dry. I powered it up with 10.00V and started running current through the wire I had run through the toroid and measuring the output of the Hall effect device. Pretty cool, with the set up I made, I had a center voltage of 5.02 and the voltage would change .03 volts for every amp it ran through the wire. I tested it up to 15 amps and I think the more accurate value may be .028 V/amp
