Magnetic Encoder v2.1
This is an amazing little magnetic encoder sensor. This sensor board based on the AS5600 from AMS/OSRAM are able to sense angles using diametric polarized disc magnets as they spin in front of the sensor. Typical disc magnets have north and south poles on the top and bottom of the disc. Diametric magnets have the poles split on the diameter of the disc.
This breakout board was designed for our pendulum control system but it also works perfectly well as a general purpose sensor. The AS5600 is communicated with over i2c and it can be configured to output data at just under 1KHz. The sensitivity of the sensor is 12-bit (4096 counts) and this value can be read over i2c, analog out, or as a pulse width depending on how the sensor is configured.
