Help getting started with the DRV8301-LS12-KIT Motor Dev Kit (TMS570LS1227 processor)

Hi,

I just got a DRV8301_LS12_KIT with the Hercules TMS570LS1227 processor. I want to just spin the motor first. InstaSPIN demo sounded great, but is not living up to the name for me. The written instructions pointed me to ...

Start->Texas Instruments->Hercules->Motor Demos

but all I see are demos for the RM46 & 48 (no demos for the TMS570 processors)


Any suggestions on getting a quick demo to spin the motor would be appreciated!

Also pointers or tips on building the projects (my first attempted ended in a "Can't find 'make'" error).

There's a lot of docs and info, so any help zeroing in on the more useful stuff would be appreciated!!

Again, I'm using the motor kit with the TSM570LS1227 processor.


Thanks in advance,

Mike

    Update:

    I copied the files in ...

        C:\ti\Hercules\MotorWare\v1.0.3.03\sw\solutions\instaspin_bldc\gui\guicomposer\webapps\DRV8301_TMS570LS12_BLDC

    to

        C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps

    and the demo seems to work fine.

    Any other pointers on what docs to focus on first and compiling the examples would still be appreciated.

    Again... using the TMS570LS1227 and interested primarily in field oriented control.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    There are two Guicomposer projects and two ccs project for this kit.

    1. Gui composer projects: instaspin bldc (you have already found it). and the encoder smo C:\ti\Hercules\MotorWare\v1.0.3.03\sw\solutions\foc_encoder_speed\gui\guicomposer\webapps\DRV8301_TMS570LS12_FOC_SMO_wEncoder.

    2. CCS projects:

    C:\ti\motorware_1_00_03_01\sw\solutions\foc_encoder_speed\boards\drv8301kit_revD\hercules\tms570ls1227\projects

    C:\ti\motorware_1_00_03_01\sw\solutions\instaspin_bldc\boards\drv8301kit_revD\hercules\tms570ls1227\projects

    3. "appProgram.out" in the guicomposer is the executable file that programmed into the TMS570ls1227 every time you run guicompose apps.

    4. If you can not build the project, please post the screen shot, we are happy to help you with that.
