Abstract
A first measurement of a magnet that rotates is received from a first set of Hall sensors in a first component. A second measurement is received from a second set of Hall sensors in a second component where the first component and the second component are in a plane that is parallel to an axis of rotation associated with the magnet. An angle associated with the magnet is determined based at least in part on the first measurement and the second measurement.
