Firmware coding

The following source code fits the 4-Wire application
The function
void
spiReadData() reads/writes 4 values from the AS5048
- Send command READ AGC / Receive value unknown
- Send command READ MAG / Receive value AGC
- Send command READ Angle / Receive value MAG
- Send command NOP (no operation) / Receive value ANGLE
If a READ ANGLE only is necessary in a loop, the procedure can be reduced to one line:
- Send command READ Angle / Receive value Angle
The function
static
u8 spiCalcEvenParity(ushort value)
stream.
