Build yourself a RC hall sensor tester. Very simple and it costs less than a dime. Here is how:
* Things you need to have: One servo cable, one 1k ohms resister, one LED and a solder iron, lead.
1. Connect 1K Ohms resistor to the signal wire ( White or Yellow )
2. Connect other end of the resistor to the Anode of the LED ( Long lead )
3. Connect the Cathode of the LED to the black wire
* Testing:
Connect your battery to the female connector and the male connector of the servo cable to the sensor. Rotate the crankshaft. The LED will light up when it
