AS5050 Arduino Lib

This is a utility library for interfacing with the AS5050 magnetic rotary encoder chip using an Arduino. While still a work in progress, it performs basic functions reliably. This is being developed as a software abstraction layer for my servo controller board project.

Current Features

• Convert raw angular data to degrees or radians for integration into other code
• Track the total rotation from either a physical or relative position.
• Automatically samples multiple angles per read operation
• utility functions for reading and writing on-chip registers
• Header with significant documentation of chip data, including register, addresses, protocol, and responses.
• Automatic handling of internal gain.
• Read/write arbitrary chip registers with simplified interface.

Work in progress

• Rudimentary error handling of transmission line / parity errors.
• Example programs for demonstration

Future/wishlist

• Interrupt driven update mechanism
• Properly handle all common chip communication errors
