Re: Best Sensor for Unlimited Rotation Swerve
We've had good and bad experience with the AS5145B contact-less magnetic sensor (also available here) used as absolute encoders. They work well if you can guarantee the distance from the sensor to the shaft does not change, and you can embed the magnet to the end of the shaft.
