MTUv5 - Hall senson connection

I received my Hall sensors and am the build point where I need to connect it to a Bodnar card to align the sensor (Step 82). The Hall sensor has 3 connections - VCC, Ground, and Output. However, the Leo Bodnar card has VCC, GROUND, and Input. How do I connect this?

Second question - how do I know the Hall sensor is at the midpoint?

Hello Everyone. When I open game controller I can see only buttons but no axis. Any advise how to solve this? Thank You very much

Now I feel like idiot. BBI32 does not support poti. Thank you all for your time and effort at least we know now :)

No worries, when you said the pot doesn't work, I was just about to ask if you had the right board

Hi @Karl Clarke I finally got this to work. I wasn't launching the Game Controller after the hall sensor was connected to the Bodnar card. I then saw the x-axis on the Game Controller Test tab.

Thanks for the help.

Good Moring, Temporarily connect the hall sensor to the leobodnar. Connect the leobodnar via usb to the computer. Use USB game controller within windows to set the mid point.

Let me know how you get on. Kind regards Karl

@Karl Clarke I may have figured the connection out. The output signal from the Hall sensor is the input to the Bodnar card.

But the second question is still relevant. How do I check for the mid-point.

Please disregard my last thread. I found the wiring diag in the shop.

thanks!

Hi Sam.

The MTU is build but not fully wired yet. I have connected the Parking Brake pot and Hall Sensors to the Leo Bodnar card (BU0836A). All switches go to my Leo Bodnar Button Card (BBI-32). It's easy to set this up in Prosim.

Right now I am stuck on the Stepper Motor setup. I posted a question to Karl about the connection between the TB6600 and Arduino. The diagram shows 6 connections but the comment he made said 4. This is my first try using Arduino and also never used MobiFlight. I may ask the Forum if someone can provide direction on this.

As for Flight Sim. I use P3D the most because I have Prosim 737. I like MS2020 but there are some issues with Prosim and MSFS. I have Xplane 11 but don't like the user interaction. I may give it a try after i get the MTU working with the stepper motors.

Thanks again for the prompt response! I will also continue to search the forum as well about the TB6600. really appreciate you sharing your experience!
