Re: Gear Tooth Sensor Question
You'll probably use interrupts to watch your gear sensor, although this introduces another step into your test this would be a good way to test the sensor. Have your RC send an output to an LED (in series with maybe 220 ohms).

Aluminum? If it's attracted to the sensor it's ferrous.

I don't see many aluminum washers unless I specify them.
