Circuitpython Support?

[danthegoodman1]

I am very interested in getting Circuitpython supported for the AS5600, and have been using this as a starting point.

Initially I had something kind of working, but it would always give 0 for the .MD so I doubted it was working properly.

Now I've switched it around and can't seem to read data into the buffer without errors 🤷

The version of this repo I've been working on is found https://github.com/danthegoodman1/circuitPythonAS5600 if you want to take a peek, but would love to add support here. Mostly I've been trying to convert the i2c functionality over to the Circuitpython flavor. Using a RPi Pico. Circuitpython 7

Hi, 1. I could not get MD to work either. Occasionally I would get a value other than zero but I think it was spurious. The possibilities seem to be: 1. Maybe I did not understand something in the documentation 2. MD doesnt work on the device, 3 Maybe MD only works in a goldilocks zone (not too strong / not too weak). I chose to ignore the problem. 2. I usually write things for Micropython. I think this email might reply to a circuitpython list but I usually to circuitpython a bit verbose and , for me anyway, a bit counter-intuitive in approach compared to Micropython Anyway I was criticised for using Descriptors on the Micropython forum where it was suggest they were not the best Micropython approach where normal methods are preferred. They said Descriptors were more commonly used in Cirtcuitpython. I said I would rewrite the code with that in mind but to be honest I never got round to it but I must confess I thought Descriptors had a certain elegance. https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10843&uid=8098&unwatch=topic&sid=a49783f21c8b78751fbbef5349ef738a&confirm_key=3HXE5DPU6A 3. I am happy for anyone to use my code anyway they like but I would appreciate a comment referencing my code. It feels nice when some one references your code.

Noted that it was based on your work. I think the issue might be writing before reading is needed. Maybe I don't have that...

I think the issue with .MD etc is because the RegDescriptors for those are declared with the default value of buffsize=2, yet the STATUS register is a single byte? See #2
