  • Aha! Washing machine is indeed nearby. So, how does that work then mister?

    The bugger is to reset them I'm pretty sure I have to wipe all stored data and start from scratch, rather than being able to select one reading and reset that, which is pretty silly.

    Grrr.

    It would just recreate the magnetic field traveling past the sensor. telling your computer the wheel was moving. I don't know whether this would require a brushless motor to do this as my knowledge of induction is very flacky as I have forgotten alot but it would defiantly work with a brushless motor, someone with better EE knowledge would need to step in. Some washing machines have a brushless motor though I think but I would guess it's the more expensive ones.
