I've had good results using the Hall-effect magnetic sensors that
Patrick Hui sent with my HandyBoard.  I glued magnets into three of the
six holes in a Lego pulley wheel and glued the sensor into a small Lego
brick.  I don't know the part number, but I'm sure that the usual
sources (Digikey, Mouser, etc.) probably have similar items.  Good luck.

  Choosing a shaft encoder?
 
As a neophyte robot builder and HandBoard user, may I ask for help in choosing the best shaft encoder? What vendor/supplier should I use? The current project is a very simple robot with a goal of accurate navigation. Thanks! (26 years ago, 28-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
