Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, LAUNCHXL-F28027, MOTORWARE, TMS320F28027, LAUNCHXL-F28027F

ill like to know where to find examples to drive a bldc motor with ti launchpad and booster pack, i've played around with 'Example_F2802xLaunchPadDemo' for the time being and now the real fun. I have installed the following software, CCS 5.5 and Ti controlSUITE

To be specific i want to try out the InstaSPIN-FOC.

UPDATE; I have renamed the question title from "LAUNCH F28027F and BoosterPack project examples" to "LAUNCHXL-F28027 and BoosterPack project examples".

    very first sticky post:

    MotorWare

    run MotorWare.exe

    read the Kit Readme, GUI QSG, and then follow the project & labs UG.

    There is also a 6 part video series on-line (but apparently all of our videos are missing today - awesome!)

    After installing ti Motorware apparently projects are also missing files. I have took a screenshot but there no way to submit it.

    D:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_14\sw\solutions\instaspin_foc\boards\boostxldrv8301_revB\f28x\f2802xF\projects\ccs5\proj_lab02c

    is kind of empty. it contains only the following files '.ccsproject' , '.cproject' and '.project'. if i try to import project it gives this error "See details below.
    Error: Import failed for project 'proj_lab01' because its compiler definition is not available. Please install the C2000v6.5 compiler before importing this project.
    "

    please use CCSv5 or v6
    I just tried with both with no issues, and I don't even have compiler v6.5 installed (v6.5 doesn't even exist to my knowledge).
    My project settings shows compiler 6.2.3 with effective 6.2.6 (what I have installed).

    follow the instructions precisely in
    C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_14\docs\labs\instaspin_labs.pdf

    @Maria.

    Thank you for the reply, No that did not helped too.

    I also have tried the Ti 'Standalone GUI .exe'. I have follow every step as it was described in 'TI Spins Motors Using th GUI'.

    I did:
    sw\solutions\instaspin_foc\boards\boostxldrv8301_revB\f28x\f2802xF\projects\ccs5\proj_lab05b\Flash\proj_lab05b.out

    to the appropriate webapp folder:
    C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2802xF_UNIVERSAL\appProgram.out

    Run the executable:
    C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2802xF_UNIVERSAL\InstaSPIN_UNIVERSAL.exe

    After a while the applications displays this random error which is always a different Error -something (see picture 1)

    BTW. Do i use the correct configuration? If i use default setting i can compile the project but if I change the settings to something like as shown in the (see picture 2) I cant compile, cause program doesnt fit in chip even if i use '28027_Flash'instead of '28027_RAM_lnk.cmd'

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Why is your MCU setting is TMS320F280260?

    Update: sorry, I saw it wrongly. The setting is TMS320F28027.

    Weird, can't delete my post.

    Can you be more specific what happen when you import the project from CCS?

    Nothing!

    I have import the project as it was described in the user manual. Importing goes without any issues and it compiles too if i use the default setup in that case a generic device. but if change the device too somethig like TMS320F28027 it won't compile due to limited size of chip? which make no sense since this is a TMS320F28027 project!

    p.s. im usig CCS 5.5

    I see. I think it is indeed you need to use flash setting instead of RAM due to RAM size that InstaSPIN FOC code can't be fit for it.

    And that i did already but the GUI stops working with random errors. Do you have use LAUNCH F28027 yourself? if so what are the critical points to be considered. Do you or anyone have working project for me just to check if my hardware is still OK.

    thanks.

    I think i have figured it out. I have LAUNCHXL-F28027. To run InstaSPIN-FOC I need LAUNCHXL-F28027F.
