Description

The Grove AS5600 is a high-precision, non-contact magnetic rotary position sensor based on the AS5600 IC. It operates on the principle of measuring the angular position of a diametrically magnetized magnet placed above the sensor chip, eliminating mechanical wear and enabling unlimited rotation. This contactless design ensures excellent long-term reliability and durability compared to traditional potentiometers or optical encoders.

The sensor provides a 12-bit digital output via I2C interface, delivering 4096 distinct positions per full rotation for precise angular measurement. It also offers configurable PWM and analog voltage outputs for direct compatibility with microcontrollers and analog-to-digital converters. Its programmable angular range allows users to set the effective measurement span from a narrow 18° to a full 360°, making it adaptable for various mechanical designs and control systems.

Key Features

  • Non-contact magnetic sensing principle for infinite rotational life and no mechanical wear

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the default I2C address of the Grove AS5600 sensor?

The default I2C address of the Grove AS5600 sensor is 0x36 (hexadecimal). This address is fixed and cannot be changed, which means only one AS5600 sensor can be used on a single I2C bus. For multiple sensors, you would need to use the PWM or analog outputs, or employ an I2C multiplexer.

Can I use this sensor with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems?

Yes, the Grove AS5600 is designed to operate with a supply voltage ranging from 3.3V to 5V DC, making it directly compatible with Arduino (5V), Raspberry Pi (3.3V), ESP32, and other common development platforms. The output signals (I2C, PWM, Analog) are compliant with the selected supply voltage level.

How do I set the programmable angle range from 18° to 360°?

The programmable angle range is configured via the I2C interface by writing to specific configuration registers on the AS5600 chip. You use a microcontroller to set the start (ANGLE_START) and stop (ANGLE_STOP) positions in the 12-bit register space, which defines the active measurement span. The sensor will output values scaled linearly within this user-defined window.

What type of magnet is required for proper operation?

The AS5600 requires a diametrically magnetized (two-pole) cylindrical magnet positioned axially above the sensor IC, typically with an air gap of 0.5mm to 3mm. The magnetic field strength should be within the sensor's specified range. Proper alignment is crucial for accurate linear output across the full rotation.
