PGA411Q1EVM: Custom Data Analysis, API Needed

Part Number: PGA411Q1EVM

Can I obtain an API from of the evaluation software to allow a s/w engineer to build customized app for data analysis?

  • Rich,

    We do not have immediate plans to create an API for the PGA411-Q1 EVM. The current EVM/GUI has limitations with how fast it can stream angle data, so it might not be that useful for data analysis purposes anyways.

    It might be useful to look at the source code for the PGA411 TI designs. These are available here:

    www.ti.com/.../TIDA-00796
    www.ti.com/.../TIDA-00363

    The TI designs stream the angle data from the PGA411 at a much faster rate (ex. 16kHz for TIDA-00363) to a UART terminal.

    Thanks,

  • Thanks Clancy,
    We are not looking for anything fast. We'd like to stop the motor and capture and view data with our own app. Which of these files allow this, if any? Are you referring to "Resolver_PGA411_F28069M_Firmware_Firmware_rev1_0.out" file? Ideally, our software engineer would rather not use the UART.

  • Rich,

    I was referring to that firmware file.

    Another option is in the GUI. There is an "Export Data" feature in the PGA411 GUI that will export the angle data into a spreadsheet.

    We cannot support your exact request right now. Let me know if there is anything else that I can help with.

    Thanks,
