I am looking for an easy way to determine the location of a magnet through a
1/16 thick piece of plastic. This possible locations of the magnet will be in about a 4-5 inch linear distance. I need to then report proportanaly where it is digitally to a basic stamp. What i have been conisdering is using 7-8 hall effect sensors which will give me the 7 or 8 levels of the magnet but i'd prefer better resolution or a method with less components. This is for measuring the level of fuel in a tank that can have nothing passing through the outer wall. Any suggestions are welcome.- posted
