Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, MOTORWARE
Hello,
I am starting software development for F28069 MCU as a newby to TI hardware. First off, I'd like to point out that although you provide a great dose of support for the software, it is sometimes difficult to find as there seems to be quite a mess with all the resources. As an example, I've bought a development kit with MotorWare so I started doing labs as recommended in the user guide found on the attached USB stick. Only by chance I've found a forum post stating that a MotorWare is just an addition to the ControlSuite, which should be investigated first! I am lacking a kind of general outline of your resources, to know what-is-what and where to start from.
Anyways. I started doing those labs and wanted to find some more information about the DATALOG module. I couldn't find anything in the available resources and only after intensive google search I've found that there is a data_log.pdf file located at C:\ti\controlSUITE\libs\app_libs\motor_control\drivers\f2803x_v1.2\~Docs\ directory. So, the question is:
- How am I supposed to find it in ControlSuite software? Searching for "datalog" or "data_log" returned no results! And I know that the file is there on a hard drive.
- It is located in f2803x directory. Is there an equivalent file/folder regarding f2806x MCU that I'm using?
- Are there any other hidden resources for this module that I should know of?
Those questions are aimed at this specific example, but please treat them as a general ones. I had the same issues when looking for a PWMDAC module documentation. It seems that all the information is there, but I just don't know how to find it.
// UPDATE:
After investigating mentioned file, it seems to be documenting some different DATALOG module (lacking Flag_EnableLogData field and others). So, with all of above questions still being relevant, another one pops in - where can I find information on DATALOG module used in the labs for f28069?
