1 Introduction
2 General Description
This Manual explains how to use the POS-IoT-DK.
The POS-IoT-DK is a demo kit for ams Magnetic Position Sensors. It allows us to show all the features of ams AS5600 rotary position sensor in combination with the very useful Simblee
Bluetooth module of RF digital. The demo is powered with a CR2032 battery. The demo consists of the demo PCB, a plastic magnet holder, a rotary magnet knob and a mobile Application which enables you to get full access of the sensor over your smartphone. After connecting the Demo PCB with your smartphone you can read and write all registers of AS5600.
This demo shows how easy it is to access ams magnetic position sensors even with a mobile device by using the Bluetooth module of RF digital.
