Some questions about AS5600

Other Hardware Sensors
1

Hi. I'm working on a helicopter collective for which I'm planning on using an AS5600 board like this. The collective will have a travel angle of about 45 degrees, and I have a couple of questions about this sensor:

  • is there any difference between getting the output data in pwm or I2C? It feels like I2C should be more precise, specifically considering it's only going to read 45 degree values.
  • I believe I have to remove a 0 ohm resistor (R1) to operate it at 5V, right?
  • I've heard I can program it to output the full range of vales by program it via i2c with the start and end angles. How would that be done? How can I "execute commands" into the chip? Does it have some sort of eeprom to store those values when disconnected?

Thank you

I suggest you read the data sheet, it has answers to your questions. Here is a link: AS5600 | ams
