Arduino Shield for AS5600
General description
The AS5600-POTUINO is a shield compatible with the Arduino UNO board. It was designed to evaluate the AS5600 Smart Potentiometer IC. The Arduino shield is fully assembled with the AS5600 IC and its necessary external components. It offers different breakout options. A breakout magnet holder is available on the left side of the PCB and in addition, an adapter board breakout is possible. A LabVIEW Evaluation GUI software and example source code is available for download.

AS5600 Position Sensor
AS5600
The AS5600 is an easy to program magnetic rotary position sensor with a high-resolution 12-bit analog or PWM output. This contactless system measures the absolute angle of a diametric magnetized on-axis magnet. This AS5600 is designed for contactless potentiometer applications and its robust design eliminates the influence of any homogenous external stray magnetic fields. The industry-standard I²C interface supports simple user programming of non-volatile parameters without requiring a dedicated programmer. An easy start and stop position programming in a so called “3 wire mode” without a programmer or digital interface is also implemented. The default range of the output is 0 to 360 degrees. The AS5600 can be applied to smaller range by programming a zero angle (start position) and a maximum angle (stop position). The AS5600 is also equipped with a smart low power mode feature to automatically reduce the power consumption.
