We used them for zeroing our arms, range limits on our arm, zeroing our shooter, and sensing state in our shooter (particularly of the pneumatics). We have used them to replace limit switches for sensing position and find them easier to integrate, more robust, and more .
How did you guys mount these- just double stick tape, or did you 3d print a case, or something else?
