Construction of an innovative, modern and affordable teaching tool in practical classroom activities using AS5600 encoder

Abstract Many researchers have understood the advantages of using the Arduino microcontroller board, as its communication with multiple sensors today offers inspiring possibilities for teaching the physical sciences. In this work, we have developed an innovative, modern and affordable educational tool composed of an Arduino board and an AS5600 encoder, to measure the angle and determine the frequency of a swinging pendulum. The results obtained are displayed graphically in real time by using a python program.
