Extended version of Matthias Wandel AS5600 example code:
https://github.com/Matthias-Wandel/AS5600-Raspberry-Pi-Python/blob/master/as5600.py
This extended version is for use with TCA9548A multiple(xer) AS5600 encoders
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tca9548a.pdf
https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/AMS_AS5600_Datasheet_EN.PDF
Usage: python3 as5600_tca9548a.py or empty
No given argument will disable TCA9548A switching and read from 0x36 directly
channel is a number from 0 to 7, which will select the TCA9548A channel
Very simple code to read AS5600 magnetic encoder with Python
on raspberry pi
Requires Python smbus module. Get it using:
sudo apt-get install python3-smbus
Make sure Pi's I2c is enabled using
sudo raspi-config
Connect Pi's ground to GND and DIR pins
Connect Pi's 3.3 volts to VCC on AS5600
Connect Pi's I2c SCL (pin 5) to AS5600 SCL pin
Connect Pi's I2c SDA (pin 5) to AS5600 SDA pin
Watchout: use a level shifter if you are using 5V AS5600
bash commands:
read i2c-bus: sudo i2cdetect -y 1
set TCA9548A switching off: sudo i2cset -y 1 0x70 0x00
set TCA9548A channel-0: sudo i2cset -y 1 0x70 0x01
set TCA9548A channel-1: sudo i2cset -y 1 0x70 0x02
read AS5600 raw angle: sudo i2cget -y 1 0x36 0x0C
read AS5600 magnitude: sudo i2cget -y 1 0x36 0x1B
