Hi Jon,
Have you tried raising the front end of the sensor to increase the =
period.
Were you able to measure the time it takes the undamped arm swing =
distance
to reduce by 1/2 after a gentle push.

Hi

I will change the wire layout when I get the new arm. I was adviced to
keep the coil on the arm, not the base it self.

The natrual period of the sensor as it was setup was around 0.3Hz. But
it's range was only limited to that.

Regards.
