Sparkly purple packages in the mail always bring good things from Laen inside. These are the magnetic encoder eval boards that I designed about a month ago. As usual, the quality is great. Unfortunately the timing is not ideal, since it’s crunch time at work, and I probably won’ t have time to build these ...
I got some samples of the nifty looking AS5040 10-bit magnetic rotary encoder IC from Austria Microsystems. I want to do some experiments with these chips to possibly replace the mechanically coupled encoder I was planning to use to measure the spindle speed on my CNC mill. The chips basically have Hall Effect sensors and ...
