The solution is to add hall effect sensors to the motor. [Robert] did all that, tested all the 36 combinations of hall effect and coil wiring, and it STILL didn’t work.

Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game results.

Using the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), researchers devised an extremely sensitive magnetic-field sensor with low noise.
