Is it a ride height sensor or something else? Your Amazon link tries to take us to your order history.
I changed the link, sorry
I would buy something with a 0-5V output. I can’t say how it works but I suspect the inductive value changes as the position changes in and I don’t know how you’d read that with the ads.
It seems you are from Canada. So get this one as fast as you can. Sadly they don’t ship to Europe.
And as @pat mentioned, they are clearing out.

Hi, I ordered the princess auto sensor you recommended and it is working in the software!
Thanks
I was working at installing the sensor today and I just wanted to check with you guys.
I can’t seem to get the sensor to be in the middle when the wheel is strait and reach max deflection when turned left and right.
So am I better off adjusting the zero in the software and try to get max deflection or loss a little but if angle and get the sensor closer to the middle?
Or is there a better spot to mount the arm too?
So many questions… Sorry I’m new! Lol
Happy New Year!
I recommend reading
@Mueller you fund a connector that fit in the PrincessAuto Sensor? Can you give a part number? I am still looking for connector for these sensors.
I would say it’s better to be near 2.5V in the center, these sensors a pretty accurate, not a big deal if you are not using all the travel in both sides.
Here is my Princess Auto Sensor mount:
I tried to give the good geometry to have no ackermann effect, but still some.
I ordered this set, it’s not a good fit, I had to bend the prong a little wider.
Thanks for the tip and the pics.
Well this is the best I could do, would be nice to get a little more angle to the left.
I will work at getting the wires to the cab and see what it looks like in the software.
HI guys
I have had a chance to test drive and I can’t find the setting to try and smooth the correction, it adjusts in blurps. You can see it in the steer chart.
Also (maybe related) the w. A. S is slow to show the latest angle?
Nice design
could you show your setting of “gain” in drive mode
min pwm drive value
Also check the Frame Count number (right after 10Hz) if it is higher than 20 to 40 then your system/cpu is lagging for some reason (wrong set sim cords of field, too many programs running on pc etc.)
Thanks!! took alot of hard work! lol
but seriously thanks for sharing the files with me. My brother works at a shop with a lazer cutter and they had a 4.5mm aluminum around so thats what we used, I had to do some modifications to make it work. I’m not sure how the bolt holes will work over time with the soft aluminum but the price was right,
This number?
I will watch it closer when I hook it up
I took this video as a summary of the settings. I will be the first to admit that most of it is just a guess on my part.
One other question is I have the spark fun sensor that’s on the parts list for the pcb, am I wrong in thinking that’s for roll? What do I set that as, cuz anything I have tried hasn’t worked.
Open to any suggestions
You don’t have any correction at nmea(gps) input? You should use at least egnos.
And it’s 1hz. It should be set at least at 5hz.
What gps are you using?
I am using the arduinosimplertk2b
But don’t have the sec gps for rtk yet.
Could you try to increase “lowmax rpm” at 60-90
You should also check how much you can pump up min pwm , take a look at the excel file Math made.
Like @Kaupoi said it seem that your receiver is at 1hz, that make also your wheel sensor update only once per second, you will not have good performance with these settings.
So since you are using an SimpleRTK2B the first step is to update to firmware 1.13 and configure it the output at 10 hz.
here for the steps to update the firmware
here to see how loading configuration files or changing settings yourself.
There are configuration files available on this forum, search for 1.13.
Personally I always change it manually, I have a list of changes to make for rover and base.
Be sure SBAS is enable in v1.13 if you are not RTK
