Not sensitive enough and skipping counts doesn't sound like a sensor problem. It sounds more like an alignment issue.
We're using the Honeywell 1GT101DC Hall Effect Sensors that some thread recommended. Our gear depth is about .1" and the sensor says it should have .4", but they do work... sort of. It's only at higher speeds where the left side seems to skip, and we've tried to adjust it some, but with no avail. I'm really just looking for some help with the compass. I'm really tired of messing with gear tooth sensors.
