For years with the IFI controller there were constant moans about the hardware SPI being tied up. Now that we have SPI there has been little talk about it. Good work. The AS5030 Is ok but there are better solutions out there. Avago makes a absolute magnetic encoder that is inexpensive and would be a good choice for some robo applications. Melix makes a good chip that comes on a demo board. It has some advantages over the Astria micro chip. Using spi can have advantages over the analog types.
