Reliable and robust
We have deployed ten of these in our workshop machines. They have been running for months without any drift or failure. The programmable features are a nice bonus.

Good performance, slight lag at high speed
For standard robotics, it is perfect. I noticed a tiny bit of latency when spinning the shaft extremely fast, but for normal applications, it is imperceptible.

Smooth PWM output
Using this for gimbal stabilization. The PWM output is very smooth with minimal jitter. Programming the zero position via the datasheet instructions was straightforward.

Excellent value for money
Compared to optical encoders, this magnetic solution is much more durable against dust. The breakout board saves a lot of time on soldering the tiny SOIC chip.

Great sensor, mind the magnet alignment
Works flawlessly once you get the magnet aligned correctly. The non-contact feature is a huge plus for longevity. Just ensure your air gap is within the specified range.

Perfect for robotic arm joints
The resolution is excellent for my robotic arm project. The I2C communication is stable and easy to integrate with Arduino. Highly recommended for precision angle measurement.
Q: Can I use this with a 5V Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, the module supports operating voltages from 3.3V to 5.0V, making it fully compatible with the 5V logic of the Arduino Uno.
Q: How do I program the zero position?
A: You can program the zero position by sending specific I2C commands to the OTP registers or by using the temporary mode via the interface as detailed in the AMS datasheet.
Q: Is the output absolute or incremental?
A: The AS5600 provides an absolute angle measurement, meaning it knows the exact position immediately upon power-up without needing to find a home reference.
Q: What is the maximum rotational speed this sensor can handle?
A: The AS5600 can handle speeds up to 30,000 RPM, though actual performance may depend on your microcontroller's ability to read the data interface quickly enough.
Q: Does this module come with the required magnet?
A: No, this module only contains the sensor chip and breakout board. You will need to source a diametrically magnetized ring or disk magnet separately.
