Having a problem getting the hall sensor working properly between a cyclone 3000 and Grin Phase runner.
Kit used is as follows:

Everything is working properly with the exception of the hall sensors. Wondering if you could provide any troubleshooting advice.
What is working:
- The motor runs (in sensorless mode)
- The hall sensors each toggle as the motor turns on the dashboard. I also confirmed by metering them directly as the motor ran.
- Therefore I don't think there is a fundamental problem with the sensor and the signal is detected by the phase runner.
- No problem connecting the phaserunner to the software
What is not working:
- During the second part of the autotune test the motor spins but after the test there is a "hall sensor error" message.
- The motor then runs in sensorless mode (as I would expect if it detects an error)
- When starting from a stop there is a short period (1 seconds perhaps) of stuttering before the motor starts running smoothly. As expected in sensorless mode.
Troubleshooting attempted:
- I confirmed with a meter the phase runner dashboard accurately reflects hall position voltage reading (it does)
- I tried all 6 combinations of the (Blue, green, yellow) hall sensor wiring options. Same problem each time.
- After each change I ran the spin test of the autotune function
- Each time I got the same "hall sensor error" the came up a few seconds after the test ended.
- Each time I confirmed all three sensors were toggling on the phaser runner software dashboard
Questions:
- Is there a relationship with the motor phase wiring. e.g. there are 6 different combinations of main power phase wires (36 total possible options when the hall sensors are considered).
- I have not tried changing the motor phase wires as the connection is soldered and significantly more time consuming to switch.
- Does only one of the 36 possible combinations work? Would like to confirm this is a possible problem resolution before taking on rewiring for the remaining 30 potential combinations.
I'm somewhat at a loss as to what else to try (except all 36 possible phase and hall connection options). Any suggestions? I haven't been able to find much documentation on how to troubleshoot this problem.
