The Hall Effect sensor wiring?
I've spent a little over two hours searching the forums now and have had little luck. Although I've gained some new valuable information I still have a pitfall in my knowledge. I've reviewed all the threads I've found and searched the official schematic for the sensor and I am still a little confused :confused: . I was wondering if someone could post a simple diagram of the wiring (because i can't find where the four prong connector goes.) or if they could give a simple "verbal" walk through in it's connection. Is my problem with the external connection of pins 3 & 4, or am i just missing something obvious. Anyway any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Cut the male end off of a PWM cable. Connect the red wire to pin 1, the white wire to pin 2, and the black wire to pins 3 and 4. Then plug the female end of the cable into the input on the RC.

Re: The Hall Effect sensor wiring?
I found out what I was doing wrong when I was testing the Hall Effect gear tooth sensor thanks to these forms. I was not putting enough load on the circuit with just the oscilloscope. The data sheet showed that by placing a 500 ohm resister (RL) between the supply and the output, I was able to get a nice square wave and a steady frequency reading. I had to set up a chain ring in the drill press, because just waving a piece of metal past it gave very poor results.

Hey,
Time for my $.02. Personally speaking, I would put the filter on it, just because it seems like a sensible idea and it seems pretty easy. Ever heard the term 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'? Well, old cliches are often true (That's why they become cliches!). Use the instructions Al gave you, or look at the datasheet (I think they have an application circuit...). Even if you don't end up needing it, it will feel better to have some padding between it and whatever voltage fluxuations you may encounter. Sparks |

Okay here is my problem.
We have wired the sensor as discribed, but the that will only plug into 1 pwm per sensor. Discussions state that you need to plug A phase into pwm6 and B into pwm 1 how do you wire one sensor to the 2 pwms? |

Please cite the discussion about A phase and B phase. |

First, I assume you mean dig io, not pwm! Second, in using Hall sensors, you actually need two placed closely together with a slight offset. You can reference the actual application note at http://www.allegromicro.com/techpub2...ion_detection/ The first sensor gives you phaseA; the second, phaseB Ours give execllent and reproducible results. The trick is mounting them. We machines out pieces of delrin to hold them in the desired configuration. Since there are magnets in them, they want to push apart!
