The position sensor board uses the AS5147 is a 14-bit Magnetic Encoders

One for is used for the motor electrical position/angle. One is used for the joint position/angle. The are connected via daisy chain on SPI communication with 2x 16bit clocking. There is a piece of Silicon Steel between the two sensors boards to prevent cross flux of diametric magnets.

The technical information for the system:-

This basically means that they are quite suitable for this application.

The Schematic and PCB has been uploaded to the "file page".
