Product description
Module featuring the well-known angular position sensor AS5600 from Infineon (Osram). The sensor detects magnetic fields from a nearby magnet and provides absolute rotation readings. EKM040 can be used to create a highly robust non-contact potentiometer or encoder with absolute position.
The sensor communicates via I2C using Qwiic connectors and also features an auxillary output that provides a proportional analog voltage or PWM signal.
