Re: Low pass filter for AS5145B

I second the advice given by philso, although in this case I assume you'd want the analog output of your filter to go into the analog breakout board on the cRIO.

And if/when you're ready to move beyond the prototype stage and if your team has the interest, it is really fun to create your own PCBs. Here is a link to an excellent series of videos that covers the topic of building simple PCBs and getting them manufactured using Kicad (a free tool):

And here is a link to a project recently completed by one of the kids on our team:

We were able to get three boards manufactured using OSHPark and order the parts for under $10 total.
