Hello,
currently I'm using low profile
30 step regular rotary encoders, but due to their low profile they are a bit wobbly and they skip steps when rotating faster.
So I was wondering, what about magnetic rotary encoder?
I googles and found almost perfect (at least on a paper) IC:
as5601. I wrote "almost" for a reason, looks like this IC has only one I2C adress (tried to contact AMS about it but their support is awful...) and it doesn't have interrupt pin which is kinda important in my opinion, cos now constant pooling is necessary. Well, interrupt is not a deal breaker – in a worst case scenario some sort of interrupt can be hacked from A/B output...
What You think? Know better IC?
I know that mechanical part design will be needed, but compared to "regular" encoder this will be a huge improvement in precision and user experience.
EDIT:I found even better chip in all aspects: it has interrupt, different I2C addresses, way smaller and half a price:
TLE493, take that AMS
