What model hall effect sensor did you end up using?

[SM987]

The sensor is a popular one in FRC, the Honeywell 1GT101DC. We got them from digikey (http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&keywords=1gt101dc&WT.term=1gt101dc&WT.mc_id=Sensors,%20Transducers&WT.medium=cpc&WT.campaign=Sensors,%20Transducers&WT.content=text&WT.srch=1&WT.source=google). We experimented with a few different gear tooth sensors and this one worked the best with our mounting/distance/noise from nearby motors combo. It also was "smarter" than our other sensors, ignoring ferromagnetic screws/rivets and other stuff flying by that could mess with the count.
