Short FAQ
- Q: Can I use the AS5600 with 5V microcontrollers? A: Many setups use a level shifter or a 3.3 V supply; consult the datasheet and module documentation before connecting.
- Q: Does it measure continuous multiple revolutions? A: AS5600 provides absolute angle within one revolution; multi-turn tracking requires additional logic or sensors.
