The AS5047P Arduino Library provides an easy way to interface with the AS5047P high-resolution rotary position sensor, as well as several other sensors from the AS5x47 series. This library supports reading the angular position and other diagnostic information using SPI communication, and is designed to work with a variety of microcontrollers, including Arduino, Adafruit Feather, and Teensy boards.
The AS5047P sensor provides high-resolution rotary position sensing with a 14-bit resolution, making it ideal for applications that require accurate angular measurements, such as robotics, motor control, and industrial automation.
- Support for multiple sensor models: AS5047P, AS5047D, AS5147, AS5147P, and AS5247.
- Easy-to-use interface for reading angular position.
- SPI communication for reliable data transmission.
- Example sketches to help get started quickly.
- Compatibility with Arduino, Adafruit Feather, Teensy, and other boards.
- AS5047P - Arduino Library

The easiest way to install this library is to use the built-in Arduino Library Manager:
- Open the Arduino IDE.
- Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries...
- In the Library Manager, type
AS5047Pin the search bar. - Install the latest version of the library.
You can also upgrade the library to the newest release via the Arduino Library Manager. For more information, refer to the Arduino Libraries Guide. Note that you need at least version 1.6.2 of the Arduino IDE to use the Library Manager.
- Download the latest version of the library from GitHub Releases.
- Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
- Copy the extracted folder to your Arduino libraries directory (e.g.,
Documents/Arduino/libraries).
Follow the Arduino Libraries Guide for more detailed instructions.
To add this library to your PlatformIO project, follow these steps:
- Open PlatformIO IDE.
- Search for
AS5047Pin the Library Manager UI, or run the following command in the PlatformIO CLI:pio lib install "jonas-merkle/AS5047P"

The following example demonstrates how to read the angle from the AS5047P sensor using an Arduino board.
#include <SPI.h>
#include <AS5047P.h>
AS5047P as5047p(9); // Chip select pin 9
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
SPI.begin();
as5047p.initSPI();
}
void loop() {
uint16_t angle = as5047p.readAngle();
Serial.print("Angle: ");
Serial.println(angle);
delay(500);
