## Description

### AS5600
#### AS5600

**AS5600** is a library for an AS5600 / AS5600L based magnetic **rotation** meter.
More exact, it measures the angle (rotation wrt reference) and not RPM.
Multiple angle measurements allows one to calculate / estimate the RPM.

**AS5600** is a library for an AS5600 / AS5600L based magnetic rotation meter.
These sensors are pin compatible (always check datasheet).
The AS5600 and AS5600L sensors are pin compatible (always check datasheet).

**Warning: experimental**

The sensor can measure a full rotation in 4096 steps.
The precision is therefore limited to approx 0.1°.
The precision of the position is therefore limited to approx 0.1°.
Noise levels are unknown, but one might expect that the sensor is affected by electric
and or magnetic signals in the environment.
Also unknown is the influence of metals near the sensor or an unstable

No other boards tested yet.


#### ESP32 and I2C

When polling the AS5600 with an ESP32 to measure RPM an issue has been reported.
See https://github.com/RobTillaart/AS5600/issues/28

| board | sensor | results | notes |
|:-----------:|:---------:|:----------------|:---------|
| Arduino UNO | AS5600 | up to 900 KHz. | see #22 |
| Arduino UNO | AS5600L | up to 300 KHz. | |
The problem is that the ESP32 can be blocking for up to one second if there is a
problem in the connection with the sensor. Using **setWireTimeout()** does not seem
to solve the problem (2023-01-31). In the issue the goal was to measure the turns
of a rotating device at around 3800 RPM. To do this one need roughly 1 angle measurement
per 5 milliseconds.
