Re: Hall Effect Sensor.
Is the Hall Effect Sensor included with the Kit an ATS660 or ATS665? The KOP lists it as a 665 but the specification sheet on the FIRST website is for the 660. The two models have different placements for the Hall IC element within the sensor. This means the 660 needs to be mounted so the end faces the teeth, while the 665 is mounted so the side faces the teeth. It would be helpful to know which model it is without having to test it by experimenting. Can anyone clear up this contradiction?

Distributors for the sensors can be found through the allegro website. A company called NU Horizons electronics sells the ats660, but the time to deliver looks like it is 16 weeks. Newark in one sells ats665 sensors at $4.30 each.

Thanks
