Circuit Documentation
Summary of the Circuit
This circuit consists of an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller which serves as the central processing unit, interfacing with an AS5048 Magnetic Encoder Position Sensor. The sensor is used to measure the absolute angle of a rotating magnetic field. The Arduino Mega 2560 provides power to the sensor and reads the PWM signal output from the sensor to determine the position.
