Hall Effect Rudder Position Sensor
#5
If you think of a how the Hydrovane works, it's an auxiliary rudder type vane. That's what I have made. The Hydrovane uses gears, mine uses a trim tab, like the old Navik vane. The trim tab is on the aft end of the oar, just like an aircraft aileron. The response of the oar twist is directly proportional to the deflection of the tab. The oar moves immediately. The boat movement, is probably slower. Since it is not a servo-pendulum, it doesn't turn the boat rudder and I expect it to be slower. That's why I want to control tab deflection precisely. If the oar moves and the boat doesn't, the controller could try to over compensate.

I looked at the datasheet for the mlx90316 and it is the IC with many configurations. Your wiki says I need a 3 wire sensor. I didn't see any in there. I was hoping for a standard 3 wire setup that I can just hook up to the controller and done.
