I am not convinced that the magnets with the TLE5010 are actually Diametrically polarised. In tests, I made sure what was N/S on some RE magnets (used water and foam test) that I have and whenever they came within range of the small magnets that came with the board the 2 always ended up flat to flat and not on a side to the flat of the RE. I tried the needle test as suggested by bolelas. The needle test on RE always flicked to the flat on either side with a quite definite no go zone around the side of the magnet. I get the same reaction when doing the same test on the magnets as supplied with the boards. I also tied the magnets in some foam sitting on top of water and they quite quickly turned with a flat to the north when placed them in the foam on their sides.

However when placing 2 magnets that came with the TLE5010 boards close together they would not join flat to flat - only a side to a flat.

Any thoughts
