The pin outs on the sensor are not in the order of Ground VCC the I/O the I/O pin is in the middle and I had reversed the VCC and IO pins. After this correction everything function just as it was described in the directions....

Re: Levitation base assembly...discussion

So looking for some feedback on the levitating base part of the build. I have finished the PCB up to the point where testing is required.

Re: New PCB - track error found

I was thinking to myself I just must be stupid or missing a trace or something but could not figure out why they were there if they were not connected between. Guess I will start the pro...
