Another Hall Sensor upgrade
-
Hey AV8R,
The magnet ring is CNC machined PVC and the mounting bracket is machined out of ABS. Its a long set screw so it would be hard to strip, but yes, I would be careful not to overtigthen. While I have a 3d printer I would not trust it for production.
Thanks for the feedback, -
Some guys have all the kewl toys

As a 18Z in the U.S. Army I had all the cool toys and got to travel around the world and play with them. Now I just make stuff in my basement.
-
I changed from boxes to padded envelopes for international shipping, Its less expensive and seems to make customs go quicker. The downside is the sensor bracket and spacers come dissembled. This pic should be self explanatory. Just make sure the solder joints line up with the relief cuts in the spacer.
Thanks -
My 2 euros worth…
The Hall Sensors and capacitor need to be protected from impact and crushing that a padded envelope isn’t structurally sound for.
1. Put some kind of rigid cap over them
Or
2. Cut their leads down to where they are basically SMDs.
Or
3. Bend the Capacitor over flush with the pcb, and put a 3-lead socket on the pcb and let the customer plug the 3 lead sensor into it when assembling. This way it’s not crushable. Might add a buck to the cost, but it’s better than having to deal with returns.https://octopart.com/917-93-103-41-005000-mill-max-853810

Great point, I actually place the sensor inside the throttle ring where it is protected.

Arty,
I think yours may have been one of this first ones shipped in the padded envelope and I put the wrong sensor in it. The next day I shipped out the correct sensor. You should have received 2 tracking numbers. Hopefully the correct sensor comes today also. -
I got only one tracking number.
:lol: talk about luck…
Let’s see maybe they packed them together…
In a few hours I’ll tell’ya.

I am sorry to say that one is for the joystick. I thought I may have done that. You should get the correct board tomorrow. Don’t plug that in, its wired differently.

Overall time of delivery and the whole experience with MilesD and his kindness and service was way more than ok.
27/7 sent 2/8 received.The Packaging way small and rigid.
2 paper cardboard’s to safeguard it from stress of going to a bankrupt country… :lol:
The inner second stage safety… all taped with a non leaving glue navy blue tape… (I love this color…)
The product with the sensor carefully placed in the safety of the plastic ring… No way it can get heart… It must brake the way strong ring first.
Yeap we are there…
And the sensor and the socket for the pcb…
Thanx MilesD… One happy customer here…
And that concludes the final current version of unboxing MilesD HallSensor for Cougar Throttle new special packaging …
Thank you all for watching.

Well if it’s just soldering I have the tools and soldering skills…
Edit: Oh what I’m saying… it must be past midnight there… Go sleep m8 I’ll wait til tomorrow.

Arty
Now how can you be a happy customer when I sent the wrong parts
It is a different form factor for the board as well as the wiring is different. You can see the holes don’t line up. You should get the right board tomorrow.
I really do apologize.

No prob…
take care. -

MilesMiles,
It’s all Greek to Arty
(Don’t even ask me to explain this American pun)Good to see Miles stands behind his product. Customer Support is key to a good reputation.

:lol: Greek? What is this?
I just found and the other tracking number. The mail got lost in the pile… It must be here tomorrow or the day after.
