I2C Communication between PIC18F4550 and AS5600

[richard]

And it finally got it!!! Amazing... this thing is indeed learning!

i would not say that, the code given will never work and has at least three fundamental flaws
number one the i2c address is incorrect

[HenrikOlsson]

Number two: With angle being 16bits and the raw value returned by the sensor ranging between 0 and 4095 this will not work great:

' Convert angle to degrees (angle is 0-4095 representing 0-360 degrees)
    angle = (angle * 360) / 4096

Both of you are absolutely right, but I was referring to the Variables definition, that were always defined wrong. Now it got it right.

I am convinced that it is getting better every time and maybe after a few months, it will correct those mistakes too.

And in general does not define the various FSR's unless you strictly ask it to do so.

I am convinced that it is getting better every time

not at all , when you see fundamental errors like this

    ' Read the high byte of the angle register
    I2CREAD AS5600_ADDR, AS5600_ANGLE_H, [angleH]
    PAUSE 10


    ' Read the low byte of the angle register
    I2CREAD AS5600_ADDR, AS5600_ANGLE_L, [angleL]
    PAUSE 10

if the read angle moves by 1 bit count in-between the reads then the read position error could up to +- 45 degrees [256 counts]

pbp i2c is glacially slow a 10ms pause in between reads wtf!, its just nonsense

Definetly will not take the job of software engineers in the near future. But it is getting better. And I suspect the free version is not that good for obvious reasons.

But paid AI does incredible job in other fields, like voice, image and video processing, that by definition is more complex than a I2C transaction. That is why I believe it can do much better that this PAUSE 10...!!!

Don't forget also that we are all beta testers and at the same time teachers of this beast...
