This is a rotating plate that I created for a FMCW Radar that I?m working on. It makes my radar turn 360 degrees with a high resolution. It can reach a precision of 12 bit (4096 points / rotation).How I Designed ThisStep 1: Programming the AM4096, 12 bit rotary magnet encoder ICTo achieve this precision, I used the AM4096, 12 bit rotary magnet encoder IC from RLS. The IC doesn?t have pins to set the i2c address. Instead it came without any pre-configuration. So it?s address is set to 0x00.To change that I just looked into the data-sheet and found the exact register to modify. I wrote some code in Python and I used my raspberry to modify it?s address. But you can also use an arduino to do that.You can find the codes on my github page: https://github.com/helkaroui/am4096_programmer AM4096 From RLS: https://www.rls.si/am4096-12-bit-rotary-magnetic-encoder-chipStep 2: Designing the encoder holderI designed the holder so that the axes of the rotating plate could hold the magnet at a distance of 0.5 mm.Step 3: Designing fixed and rotating parts Credits:helkaroui Rate this 3D modelDownload 3D modelsFileFile size High_precision_rotary_plate1 MB
