This sample is used for testing the AS5145B encoder using a magnet on a motor shaft. The code simply dumps out information using class functions if the encoder is working correctly.

Wiring

Connect the A and B pin on the encoder to SIG pins on the digital IO on the digital sidecar. Connect both GND pins to two ground pins(-) on the digital IO on the digital sidecar. Connect the CSn pin to a ground pin (-) on the digital IO on the digital sidecar. Connect the 5V pin to a Power pin (PWR) on the digital IO on the digital sidecar

Requirements

• CRIO & Sidecar
• SmartDashboard
• Lots and lots of wiring
• A motor and a motorcontroller(may need to adjust the code to use your motor controller and PWM port of choice)

• A calibrated magnet(comes with the encoder) fitted on a shaft

  See the datasheet(source) for additional guidance.
