Own motor controller hardware

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8312, CONTROLSUITE, MOTORWARE

Hi,

I'm wanting to review the InstaSPIN motion . I have my own working motor controller hardware. and my initial plan was to connect the TMDXCNCD28069MISO to my own hardware. 

 but I'm going through documentation hell. It is really hard to find the information I need and get started.

 So Is there any documentation to connect you're own hardware to the controller. Or is it better to buy the DRV8312 kit to get started. Or give up.

Regards.

    Ernst,

    I think the document you are looking for is the schematic of the ControlCard.  This is available in ControlSuite.  Here is the path inside ControlSuite: C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs\CC2806xHWdevPkg\R1_1

    From there you have a couple options.  You could design an interface board that uses the DIMM 100 socket to connect to the ControlCard, or you could use one of the evaluation kits.  I think the second option is easier as this will let you get familiar with the software and the microcontroller with software and hardware that is known to work together.  You can even use your own motor with this evaluation kit.

    I think connecting the F28069M device to your own hardware is a great second step for evaluating InstaSPIN-MOTION.

    the 69M version of the controlCARD was never released as TMDX. That is either a typo (TMDS) or you have a non-M version of the card. Please double check that.

    I highly recommend first choosing an existing motor control evaluation platform that can support your motor in voltage/current, or if there isn't one suitable just using one to at least have a golden reference that lets you work through the labs and understand the capability, interface, etc.

    Where do I find the schematic of the DRV8312-69M-KIT? I can't find them in motorware, controlsuite or the Ti.com.  I need to know which pins are used and what signals they need.

    Where are the pin definition in the source code? I expected this to find in user.h?

    The schematic files are PDF format :

    TMDXCNCD28069MISO:  X:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\~controlCARDs\TMDSCNCD28069ISO_v1_1\R0_4

    DRV8312EVM_RevD_Schematic:  X:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\DRV8312-C2-KIT_v128\~DRV8312EVM-HWdevPkg\DRV8312_RevD_HWDevPKG

    I found the file "hal.c" contains pin definition.like the functions: HAL_setupGpios(HAL_Handle handle) and HAL_setupAdcs(HAL_Handle handle)

    BTW:Hi Chris,can you tell me the difference between R0_2,R0_3,R0_4,please?

    running MotorWare.exe links you to everything necessary, though some links are to locations in controlSUITE which you must install

    as noted, all interaction with the hardware happens in the hal

    this is explained in the Lab User's Guide which you should work through
