The I2C address is 0x36.
Power Pins
- VIN - this is the power pin. It can be powered by 3V or 5V. Give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 5V micro like Arduino, use 5V.
- 3Vo - this is the 3.3V output from the voltage regulator, you can grab up to 100mA from this if you like.
- GND - common ground for power and logic.
I2C Logic Pins
- SCL - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller's I2C clock line. This pin can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- SDA - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller's I2C data line. This pin can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- STEMMA QT - These connectors allow you to connect to development boards with STEMMA QT (Qwiic) connectors or to other things with various associated accessories.
PWM Output
- OUT - This is the analog/PWM output pin. In addition to reading data over I2C, you can read an analog or PWM output via this pin. In analog output mode, 0V corresponds to 0 degrees and VDD corresponds to 360 degrees. In PWM output mode, 0% duty cycle corresponds to 0 degrees and 100% duty cycle corresponds to 360 degrees.
Direction Jumper
- DIR - On the back of the board is the direction jumper, labeled DIR on the board silk. This pin determines the direction of the magnetic rotation measurement. By default, the jumper is tied to ground, which sets the direction to clockwise. You can cut this jumper to pull it high to set the direction to counter-clockwise.
Power LED and Jumper
- Power LED - In the upper left corner, above the STEMMA connector, on the front of the board, is the power LED, labeled on. It is a green LED.
- LED jumper - This jumper is located on the back of the board and is labeled LED on the board silk. Cut the trace on this jumper to cut power to the "on" LED.
PGO Pad
- PGO - On the back of the board, is a circular pad labeled PGO on the board silk. This is the program option pin and is used to calibrate and program the sensor. It is for advanced use only, since it changes the programming on the AS5600. More information on this pin and programming modes can be found in the datasheet, starting on page 22.
