Description
This mounts a AS5600 magnetic encoder onto a NEMA 17 stepper motor, enabling precise and absolute positioning of the shaft. The diametric magnet that pairs with the encoder needs to be glued precisely at the center of the motor shaft, so I've included positioning tools for doing so. Note that the MT6701 is a drop-in replacement/upgrade over the AS5600 encoder by having 16384 pulses per revolution (14 bits) as opposed to the 4096 pulses per revolution (12 bits) of the AS5600. The housing for the MT6701 can be found here.
