I have a problem in using Hall sensor throttle in 555 pwm. I want to replace the potentiometer with hall sensor but I can't.
Pls, I will need an assistant on it. Thanks.

This circuit is not an easy design to modify for voltage control- assuming the throttle you bought outputs an analog voltage.
Better to use a triangle wave generator driving a comparator, then the PWM control can be a voltage.

By scaling the triangle wave correctly, you can make the PWM vary from 0 to 100 % very easily.

I agree with Sensacell. From my reading of the spec for that throttle it requires a 5V supply and outputs an analogue voltage in the ~1V-~4V range. Ditch the 555 circuit, unless a pulse which varies both in width and frequency is acceptable, in which case a modification of the 555 circuit might be possible.

Here's a PWM circuit using LM339 or LM393 comparators with a 1V-4V input control range that should do what you want:
It goes from 0% to 100% duty-cycle
The value of R3 determines the sensitivity, a smaller value increases sensitivity and a larger value reduces sensitivity.

Here is the link to the Hall sensor throttle i bought on aliexpress.

So, i will like to replace the potentiometer with this hall sensor. below is the cct diagram of the 555 PWM i have.
Using a 5 volt supply, the device you ordered outputs a voltage somewhere between 1 and 4 VDC depending on the position of the handgrip, while RV1, in the drawing you referenced, is effectively two pots used to generate different charge and discharge time constants in concert with C2.
Consequently, the bottom line is: " There's no simple way to substitute the Hall sensor for RV1."
