Nano Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hello, i got this sensor to install on my car for wheel speed but a bit confused of how it works. does the sensor detects a magnetised target, or ferrous like bolt? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 It has a magnet inside the sensor, your target just needs to be ferromagnetic metal - soft low carbon steel is best if you are making a trigger wheel, but most steel items such as bolts will work fine too.

Adamw Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 The GT101 likes quite big teeth - about say 5mm long by 5mm high, so that may dictate how many teeth you can fit depending on the diameter you have to play with. Somewhere around 20T generally works well. TTP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussT400 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Regarding Digital Inputs. my Quaiffe gearbox has a non contact hall sensor gear position sensor. Non intrusive to the gearbox as sits on an alloy blank surface plate. I have a g4x Fury possibly to wire in to the car with e throttle and all other to make it work….. it’s just the gear position input is going to be digital and maybe a problem before fitting, as not the analogue as it seems the ecu requires???? please help!!!!! Has this been done already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
