AS5600 magnetic position encoder - best encoder for stepper motors

In this video I show you how to use the AS5600 magnetic position encoder. This is a very powerful chip for projects where you need a precise information about the position of a shaft. Therefore, it is extremely useful for stepper motor-related projects because you can use the sensor to directly measure the displacement of the shaft of the stepper motor. Its angular resolution is °/bit, so if you use it with a stepper motor that has a 1.8° angular resolution, you can use the motor up to 3200 step/turn microstepping and still get decent numbers.
