Re: Problem with 2008 gear tooth sensor
Hey everyone! i think our team found the source of the problem.

check out R3 on the two boards. the number on them is different.

Apparently, R3 on the end gear sensor board is marked 4001, R3 on the other gear sensor board is marked 4004. Our mentor assumed that one is 400 and 40k Ohms, but he was not sure how to read the surface mount resistor markings. It is clear they made a mistake in the factory and built all of one of the two boards incorrectly.


Hopefully, more information will be posted later today about this problem.
