  Reading potentiometer position or angle with AS5600 board      In this blog I will expose the way to read an angle or position (in my case wind direction) trhough the board AS5600-SO_EK_AB, bought from Digikey  https://www.digikey.es/product-detail/es/ams/AS5600-SO-EK-AB/AS5600-SO-EK-AB-ND/5066879           This is a fully mounted board, not equally as the picture, and I bought separatelly a magnet with a button which fits very well on top of the chip. If you turn the button, the value changes giving it a position. Link and picture of the button:  https://www.digikey.es/products/es?keywords=RMH05-DK-XX-1.0     This button includes the proper imant attached to the bottom of it. The connection to the microcontroller is done by a resistor divider and an analogue input. This divider is necessery because the voltage of its ouput is higher than de analogue input module.      Pin B0 of the microcontroller mu...
