Abstract: A method of reducing error caused by rotational movement during position sensing in a system comprising a magnetic rod attached to a movable object, two or more linear position sensors positioned substantially equidistant to each other on a radius around the magnetic rod attached to the movable object, and electronics is disclosed. The method includes measuring magnetized lines of flux being radiated from the magnetic rod attached to the movable object, the linear position sensors translating respective sensed lines of flux into corresponding voltage and using the electronics to sum the corresponding signals i.e., voltages, and determine the average of the corresponding signals, i.e., voltages.
