Just an update and a
thank you to everyone that had some input into my problem.
I'm happy to say I finally fixed my bike
I'm now a happy chappy.
I had a bit of a nightmare though, found out what had caused the sensor to blow, I had 2 severed wires right were the wire enters the hub and they were touching each other this was also giving me false signals when testing, this was the reason I was getting constant 5v (doh!!) should have check the wiring first I guess!! live and learn.
As for the SS41 hall effect sensors, these didn't exactly work in the same way as my original sensors.
My original sensors allowed current to pass through until a magnet was placed on the front and the current then stopped, once the magnet was removed the current was allowed to flow again, placing a magnet the other side had no effect at all.
The SS41 sensors allowed current through until a magnet was placed in front of the sensor which stopped the current, once the magnet was removed the current was still blocked. Only after the magnet was applied to the rear did the current start again hence
Latching hall sensors are similar to Bipolar, but they stays on or stays off when the magnetic field are removed.
But no matter the SS41's worked a treat and the bike runs smoothly now, I have only made a temporary fix to the wiring that I will eventually need to replace when I get more time.
So thanks again all, could not have done this without your help.
Oh and the middle sensor did need to be facing the opposite way to the other!!
