InstaSPIN-MOTION

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE, DESIGNDRIVE, C2000WARE-MOTORCONTROL-SDK

Hello Everyone! I am developing PMSM motor for servo application.

I read that InstaSPIN-MOTION can serve my purpose so wanted to evaluate DRV8301kit.

But I hear that for new design  TI no longer support controller with  InstaSPIN-MOTION.

Kindly guide and suggest best possibility.

Thanks,

Vikrant

    correct, InstaSPIN-MOTION is only on older F2806x/5x devices (on-chip ROM library and MotorWare software package).

    It is not offered for any of our newer devices and not supported in the C2000Ware-MotorControl-SDK , which has all the latest sensorless and Servo control examples.  Servo is primarily supported by our DesignDRIVE solutions.

    Thanks Christ for the response. This will help me choose right platform.

    I will go through DesignDRIVE solutions details, I might need certain help , I will get back with certain questions.

    Thanks,

    Christ ,one more question, as we can set smooth motion profiles in Instaspin- motion GUI for elevator door application, is it possible to set motion profile in DesignDRIVE controller?

    Is it possible to locate C code written for Instaspin- motion and use it for DesignDRIVE controller?

    Thanks,

    Vikrant

    DesignDRIVE does not include any motion profile software. It is primarily meant for our customers who do not rely on TI for the control software.

    No, you cannot use the MOTION code for DesignDRIVE as the MOTION library is not present.

    Thanks for the replay,  I need to develop control software within 1 month time frame so I feel for time being I think I need to  use Instaspin- motion platform and then over period of time control software on DesignDRIVE can be developed. Please suggest.

    If going ahead with Instaspin- motion platform then how to integrate my application C code with motion control function. Please guide.

    I have seen certain videos on DRV8301kit, showing GUI  setting for motion profiles but how to access main function in C code & append my application code with control software.

    Thanks,

    Vikrant

    The GUI is just an interface to change variables in the project code.

    All project source code is available in the labs in MotorWare. There are certain functions in on-chip library that remain closed, but everything else is in source code.  Work through the labs to understand the code and capability and start from the closest to your application. Good luck.
