About the ArmEncoderBoard PCB
ArmEncoderBoard is an open source PCB design by 01binary, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 34 × 34 mm, with 29 components from 15 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SN74LVC2G17DBVR and AS5045B. By type, the board carries 13 resistors, 5 capacitors, 4 diodes, 2 ICs and 2 transistors.
It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.
From the project
A human-scale mech integrated with Robot Operating System
A custom board that simplifies mounting AS5045 hall-effect on-axis encoder with 12-bit resolution onto robot joints.
For 3.3V operation VDD5V and VDD3V3 are bridged and routed to VIN (3.3V). A single 100nF decoupling capacitor is placed at the bridge (close to the IC) to GND.
The following is documented in AS5045 specifications:
+ Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) with one-way communication, MOSI line not used + Compatible with SPI mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1) + Transfer begins when CSn is LOW + MSB-first, clocked data output
