I don't think that those magnets are good. I've looked through many offers of AS5600 on aliexpress and it seams that almost all sellers add "standard" magnets that are polarized in wrong direction ( with N/S poles on flat parts) and those sensors need magnets "split" in half of the circle.

thanks Im aware of that and yes it is very probable that they include the wrong magnet. Thats why the expensive 14bit one does not include one I suppose.

Well, for a throttle you do not necessarily need an extra circuit, a simiple e-bike throttle (like this) uses a magnetic band which goes from 0 to middle position in the proximity of a HAL sensor. The reading is pure analog, you can use any magnet, and you can scale it in software according to your needs.

at this moment Im not looking for something not just for throttle, these units are very good and deserve more research. I mean they can be as good to use as a measurement angle for a telescope.

Please post results then, I assume you would require a high angular resolution for telescope orientation, in the order of arc seconds?

Im waiting for the units BUT yes I know that it is supposed that they will NOT give the required res.
BUT what if they give a basic position/correction start point and the rest can be done by micro-step count?
I already have control over micro step or 1/2 step mode on my board so I can slew the telescope and change the mode to 1/128 step any time. Maybe it works!
