The sensor should be very straight forward to read (encoder but easier). Please post your most recent code and others might be able to help. We have the hall effect working well with +/- 5 cm error (which will hopefully be lower).

Remember to create a test setup with the Hall effect sensor 2 cm away from a sprocket to verify the sensor readings indpendent of your moving robot. Attempt to do this before mouting onto the robot.
