    Hi guys,
    Calibrated the hall sensors now as per instructions, some sets have "high ranges" difference, don't know why as I triple checked the magnet holder is placed properly as per @HyperJoel suggestion above.
    Other thing is when checking in SMC3 moving the motor arms manually one of the green line goes the wrong way, the guide clearly states that moving the arm up the green line should go up and viceversa, how can I fix this?
    From my understanding it might have something to do with the reverse setting in the Arduino firmware but I dont know which one it is. Could someone please advise?
    Thanks

    I should've updated my comment, I'll go back to it tomorrow when I'm at my computer again, but I'm not sure that's right anymore. I thought I had it figured out because I was finally getting accurate data in SMC3 util, but after more testing I think the magnet should be rotated to where the center point in SMC3 utils' graph matches where you want the neutral position of the arm to be. I haven't gotten back to this magnet position setup yet so still not 100% sure I'm right about that. Also thinking rotating the magnet 180 degrees would invert the readings from the hall effect sensor, haven't confirmed that either.

    I've been more focused on reworking the relay board setup. I think having 2 motors going through one relay caused the relay to get welded in the closed position internally when I first powered them. I'm modifying my setup to use 1 relay per motor so they're handling less current.

    Yes, first check if the magnet N/S orientation is the same with all 4 magnet holder. Then switch +/- at the engines, that everything is in line.

    To the calibration, it's normal, that they differ a bit. That's why the software wants the max/ min values. It normalizes it.
