These sensors are often used to create 'frictionless' rotary encoders or potentiometers, without the risk of mechanical failure or noise. Magnetic angle sensors get the best of 'both worlds': like rotary encoders they can rotate freely 360 degrees around, and like potentiometers, they have absolute location detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll you need is a microcontroller or microcomputer with I2C - we have Arduino, Python and CircuitPython driver support. Then, identify the north and south of a magnet: we recommend a rare earth magnet. Note that many round magnets have the N\/S on alternate 'coin face' sides, so you'll need to rotate it on the edge. Place the magnet near the middle of the chip and rotate it in place. The firmware will detect the magnetic field and report the angle from 0 to 359 with 0.1° precision and 0.4° accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make usage plug-and-play, we added\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/qwiic\"\u003e SparkFun qwiic\u003c\/a\u003e-compatible \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt\"\u003eSTEMMA QT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e connectors for the I2C bus, \u003cstrong\u003eso you don't even need to solder the I2C and power lines.\u003c\/strong\u003e Simply wire up to your favorite micro using a \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/jst-sh-cable-qwiic-stemma-qt-compatible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSTEMMA QT adapter cable.\u003c\/a\u003e The Stemma QT connectors also mean the AS5600 can be used with our \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/collections\/qw-st\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003evarious associated accessories.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/jst-sh-cable-qwiic-stemma-qt-compatible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eQT Cable is not included, but we have a variety in the shop\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes as a fully assembled breakout board a small bit of header.
