What is the sensor connected to the VR input? It's the norm now to use the VR inout for VR, hall, and even EDIS.

Generally, I find R52 can be left on the default fully anti-clock position.

R56 usually ends up about 6-8 turns clockwise.

It's much easier to adjust R56 with a scope connected to VR out. You set R56 for a decent square wave of approx 5v peak to peak and an even mark/space ratio.
