Description

I am unable to write to the registers of this device. Looking at another driver, it looks like this one is written differently (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_ADS1x15/blob/main/adafruit_ads1x15/ads1x15.py). It looks like its overwriting the variable in the class rather than writing to the register

Research direction

Start by comparing the AS5600 driver's register-writing implementation with the linked adafruit_ads1x15/ads1x15.py example. Trace whether writes reach the device registers rather than only replacing a class variable, and verify that register writes work on the AS5600 device.
