Another DIY magnetic rotary encoder with the AS5043

Here’s another take on a breakout for the magnetic rotary encoder AS5043 IC: Just wanted to show my take on the AS5043. Double sided PCB by Seed, Voltage regulator onboard, one LED for power on, the other for magnetic range output. This chip measures the surrounding magnetic field and outputs a serial and analog reading […]

DIY Magnetic rotary encoder with AS5043

Sebastian would like to build a high-res 3D printer, and to this end he needs a precise way to ascertain the exact positions of various moving parts. Instead of buying an expensive stepper motors he decided to build a magnetic rotary sensor with which he could calculate the distance traveled. By placing a neodymium magnet […]
