The IR sensor was from time to time blinded by sun...

I simply replaced it by a hall effect switch.

I choosed a 3.3V chip with the reference SS49E

To connect it to the PCB and replace the IR sensor, follow these guidelines

Then replace the 3D printed "wheel" by the magnet holder. You will need to glue a "diametrical magnet 6mm diameter, 2mm width"

Note that the 4mm nut is hidden into the printed part (add a filament change on top of the nut)

When finished the hall sensor should fly 2 to 3mm above the magnet

The code of the project remains strictly the same and is still available on my github page
