Carls mag, what you must know.

The terminals

I don't think it matters how they are turned as long as they are the same. Vertical or horizontal or somewhere in between. Just get them the same. I could not get a good balance until I fixed this.

dear Fitz, you mean that the 4 terminals of each sensor must be horizontal and not vertical to the earth ??

Hi Fitz,
please, can you share some picture of your mag? It work fine?

Cheers, D.

Maybe everybody gets this and I am just stupid but maybe not. When you put the sensors into the tubes they must have perfect alignment. You MUST also have them rotated the same. I did not do this at first and I could not get them to align very well. I did not read anything in the plans about it, but it makes a big difference.
Here is a crude pic but I think you can get the idea. It is looking at the pin ends of both sensors. I also put the foam rubber in right when I start to use the mag. I remove it after each time. It takes a bit more time but the rubber just gets squished and stops working if you leave it in.
