not a bad idea.

the hall effect sensors need to sit really really close to the gears, about 3 mm, right in front of the point where the teeth change from peak to valley.

a good indication would be to move them closer by hand, until you can feel the magnet inside them pulling the you towards the gear.

in order to position them accurately, i would suggest that you use an oscilloscope, that way you have a visual and real-time reference , so you can decide exactly where to put them.
