i am able to move the servo with the knob and buttons. when i set the start position with the middle button. it would repeatedly return to thst position when i power off and and back on ( even if i move it to snothr position when it is off).

however, it seems like the magnet isnt doing anything. i tried moving the sensor closer. i even stacked on a second magnet N50. i checked that North pole is facing the sensor with a compass.  no luck.

any help?
