    I posted this in the newb section and decided to post it here too. I have an dc18v servo motors with hall effect sensors built-in. I am running the motor at 14v,to be under the perimeters for mini monster vnh2sp30, which has a safe voltage of 16v (runs perfect forward and backwards) . I am trying to figure out the wiring for the hall sensors here: IMG_20170806_132249.jpg

    The pink/purple wire is V+ the black is V-. I don't know exactly how to wire the other 3 wires they do run at 5v+/-. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    What are you connecting the Hall sensors to and what are the input requirements for what you are hooking to? Are the Hall sensors outputting in the 14V or 5V range? Is the output swing 0-5V (or 14), or does it swing negative to positive? You don't give enough information for people to be of much help.

    If I decided to use the hall sensors I would need limit switches to zero out at startup. I would need to use the hall sensor to output the degrees rotation. I thought it might be easier than adding a potentiometer, but the sensor is on the motor not the drive gear (25:1 or so). The sensor 0 to 5v and sweeps about 12 time or so per shaft rotation. I do have an issue of the motor running about 30% slower in reverse than in forward. I don't know if this really matter too much. Thank you
