4.3.3.2 Calculating Angle

To determine the angle that the magnet points towards, find the estimated angle between two lookup table points, as outlined in Section 4.3.1.1. This process must be done for each sensor, and then the two results are averaged to find the angle associated with the magnet. Areas where Vabove – Vbelow ≈ 0 (the peaks) are not usable in this method; therefore, the best practice is to use the value from the other sensor in these regions.
