Re: Mounting magnetic encoder

Right off the bat, I'm not an electrical guy, but I think you'll have a problem reading a motor's orientation directly off a motor when its moving. You probably want an encoder (which will read a fast spinning motor) or you want the magnetic angle sensor somewhere closer to the end of your motor/gear system (on the final output shaft).

Can you be more specific about what you're trying to measure?
