Has anyone found a source for the ATS694? Digikey doesn't have a listing...

Andy,

Thanks for the info about how the cars came to use a missing pulse. I love
how these historic things come back around. It's great that the standard
railroad gauge is set to the width to the wheels of a roman war chariot.

Most LinuxCNC applications (especially a lathe spindle) need an index
pulse.
Car engines need an index pulse too, but they do that by having a missing
tooth. (traditionally it was a shorter tooth on the starter ring-gear).

26.5 is absolute max voltage. The normal working range is 5 to 24V, so it
will work in just about any automotive application.

Andy,

I read the datasheet and it looks really easy.

The "dual channel" is the independent output of the two hall effect
transducers (available only in the surface mount part.) The other two
outputs are direction (simple binary pin) and speed. Speed is the XOR of
the two transducers, so it produces a full square wave for each magnet pass
under the device. You can then either time between edges of the square wave
to get an instantaeous angular velocity or between square waves to get the
rotation rate. Way easier that looking for a missing pulse.

at $2.50 each, this is a cool part. The weird thing is the 26.5V supply
voltage (clearly made for one customer...). That means an extra power
supply and level converters on the outputs. It would be nicer if there was
a 5V part (I didn't look for one.) Given that it's built for automotive, it
is as close to indestructable as you can easily get for an electronics part.

Actually, that's a 2-channel one, rather than the 1-channel. I don't know
how you would detect the index (the car encoders have a missing-tooth
index)

Does Ford buy them via Amazon ??  ;-) The price is right.

I can't find a source for the sensor in the US.
