as5601 integrated to nrf51822

[Anonymous]

Hi alll,

I wanted to use a encoder for measuring rotary motions. so i kept a magnetic encoder named AS5601 which uses I2C communication and i have never done anything on this communication protocol before.

Any help for code is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Then internet and long hours of reading (+ trials and errors) are your friend. I2C (aka TWI) is one of the easiest and widest used protocols existing.

I saw the TWI and still i couldn't get any.. It'll be good if there is anything done already..

That doesn't make sense. If you really expect someone coding the FW for you then I'm afraid you won't be successful.

Have a look at the TWI examples in our SDKs. Start with the TWI scanner example and verify that you can successfully communicate with your sensor. Then you can move on and transfer actual useful data. But as @endnode suggests, you will have to do some reading. You also need to dive into the AS5601's datasheet and understand how to use it and read its registers.

Note also that the nRF51 has a built in QDEC in hardware that you might be able to use instead of going through TWI.
