Go to Post There are laws of physics, useful rules of thumb, and cold hard economics that come into play to be sure but at it's core Engineering is Art. For these artists, there is no substute for the sound engineering judgement. - Joe Johnson [more]

Re: Gear Sensor Competition Usage Feedback

Hi!
We never used the sensors in competition (we wanted quadrature, so we made our own hall-effect sensors) but we did fiddle with them. What we found matches what Eugene found: follow the sample circuit. That resistor makes the waveform much cleaner.
Furthermore: Those are some good sensors. They count very accurately (we used them on a gear) and the programmers had loads of fun learning about how to use interrupts.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
