Use

These files are made for KiCAD and an AS5047 encoder.

You'll need to use a firmware file with the "Use Hardware SPI" option enabled at compile time using the #defines in the config files.

Questions

How big is the AS5047 encoder PCB?

It measures 36.7 × 33 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the AS5047 encoder use?

10 parts, built around the AS5047D. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the AS5047 encoder KiCad files?

From the sequoia-hope/vesc_encoder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is AS5047_encoder.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the AS5047 encoder design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sequoia-hope before reusing the design.
