Alinan 6pcs AS5600 Magnetic Encoder 12bit 3.3V High Precision Magnetic Induction Angle Measurement Sensor Module

I've made several purchases of these boards (from other vendors also) and had a problem with every one. If you just want to use these as a full scale 0 - 360 analog out then it will probably work fine - after you remove R4. However, if you want to change the output by programming the internal registers you will find that these chips have already been programmed or are defective. The registers on each chip can be programmed 3 times, and only once for the zero and span settings. Every board I looked at already had it's zero and span programmed to either 0-360, or 0-90 and displayed that only 2 more burns were left. I had to get replacement AS5600s from Digikey for them to work correctly. One other thing - if you want to use this board at 5V you need to remove R1. R1 is a zero Ohm resistor that connects the 5V and 3.3V pins on the chip. It is required of you are running at 3.3V but needs to be removed for 5V.

I was about to return these, but I found a review for a similar product by another vendor that you have to remove R4 to get analog output. Doing that got me reasonable values. Dont know how accurate they are yet, but at least they seem to work. Thanks P. Meyer!
