You can’t visually see the difference between the two motors, which is why we didn’t catch this earlier.
However, you can get a magic sheet if you are curious to see how many magnets are in.

Cool!
Maybe a difference in part number is in order?
Cheaper way:
Spin the mag-wheel by hand and count the number of magnetic “dents” per revolution.
The “original” has 6 “dents” per revolution.
No magic paper required.
However if they is going to be a difference in the encoder resolution, IMHO there should be a different part number.
Viz.:
- If part # = xxxxx then encoder pulses = 6
- If part # = yyyyu then encoder pulses = 16

We had some weird results with this method, because it depends on the hall effect sensors to be in the right place. Turns out this batch has a high level of hall effect sensor failure too. We’re doing our best to catch them all.
