The Magneto Click Board™ carries an AS5048A contactless magnetic angle position sensor. The sensing circuitry relies on the Hall Effect to detect the vector of a nearby magnetic field in a 360º two-dimensional plane parallel to the surface of the chip. AS5048A delivers precise angle measurements down to 0.05º in 14-bit resolution. Its accuracy is not impeded (up to a point) by misalignment, air gap variations, temperature variations, even stray magnetic fields. The PWM outputs the absolute position information. Additionally, the magnet's zero position is programmable (via SPI).
The Magneto Click Board™ communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS SPI interface (CS, CLK, MISO, MOSI). Designed to use either a 5V power supply.
IC/Module: AS5048A Rotary Position Sensor
The AS5048A is a 14-bit rotary position sensor/encoder, which measures the absolute position of the magnets rotation angle. In other words, it is a contactless 360
