I'm slowing getting set up to test one of those sensors. I just 3d printed a holder. The darn thing uses M12x1 threads so I had to order a 12x1 tap 6 weeks from China and the tap arrived. Printing 12x1 almost works but you need to chase out the printed threads. None of the local stores carry anything that is M12x1. Soon enough I will know if it can "see" things like hex bolt heads and aluminum foil.
