A Hall Effect sensor needs to see a magnet doesn't it, you cant just wave a piece of steel past it...?
Sunny, is the EL Falcon pickup an inductive one?
What sort of size was the lug on the wheel you were picking up?
these sensors hve a strong magnet in them and generate a pulse when the steel tooth passes it the teeth on the wheel are about 5mm long , i didnt work out what that is in degrre terms , the wheel is made of 1mm thick steel laser cut i think it was about 150mm diameter air gap of 1-1.5mm
will try to get photo of it
