C2000 launchpad with DRV8301 for 3 phase motor run

I saw a similar complaint to this recently
let me move your thread to the GUI Composer team on the CCS forum

Hi,

I did un-install to all CCS environment and TI and re-installed

This fixed the problem

But I can't RUN GUI because there is no .out file to the WEB application of the Motorware

See below - I open Motorware

And then I get this

And GUI is BAD - since no out file -> how should I get it? I want general 3-phase motor RUN

Thanks for any help

If the file was OK I wouldn't have all the red marks

per the user guide you need to create a .out in CCS using MotorWare and the projects for your inverter and controller combination

now that you got the GUI to work I'll move this back over to InstaSPIN forum

Can you send me CCS code example that I can open with CCS ? I couldn't find how to do it
Thanks

you have to build it for your combination of HW and your motor

read through this first
C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_16\docs\guis\universal\qsg_gui_universal.pdf

the lab guide you follow is at:
C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_16\docs\labs\instaspin_labs.pdf

Thanks,
I have to admit that this is far away from straight forward
I have spent all day trying to run it
While I remember that year ago it runs for me just after installing the Motorware - and the example worked and spin my motor without doing anything... this is strange - probably it loaded some default .out code to chip

Any way Still doesn't work
I have looked over the labs - I need probably something like Lab 05b - since I need DRV8301 chip and I just want to run 3 phase motor.
I don't want to use the hall-sensors - and I know that instantspin can overcome these sensors (by measuring with accurate ADC to actual motor place)
so I need to import Lab 05b and Build it - in order to create the .out file correct ?
then put the file in the here
C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2802xF_UNIVERSAL
correct?
Thanks,
Roee

And then I get this:

Which unlocked ??
although I have taken all defaults in example and did not change anything
Thanks,
Roee

Can someone help on this

Or have a working code to run 3 phase motor?

Using DRV8301 and c2000 launch pad (F28027F)

Thanks

Roee

you have to compile a project with some information based on your motor. This is explained in the documentation (I know, it's a lot of pages).

use proj_lab02c for motor ID.
let's get the motor ID'd first

at a minimum you will need to set-up the USER_MOTOR section with the POLES, FLUX_EST, RES_EST_CURRENT, IND_EST_CURRENT


can you also verify that you have LAUNCHXL-F28027F with emphasis on the F

First thanks for your help

Second what does this mean:

Device Calibration not complete, check if device is unlocked and recalibrate.
C28xx: Flash Programmer: Warning: The configured device (TMS320F28027), does not match the detected device (). Flash Programming operations could be affected. Please consider modifying your target configuration file.

Loading program: C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2802xF_UNIVERSAL\appProgram.out
C28xx: GEL Output:
Device Calibration not complete, check if device is unlocked and recalibrate.
C28xx: Loader: One or more sections of your program falls into a memory region that is not writable. These regions will not actually be written to the target. Check your linker configuration and/or memory map.

Also where is the file to configure the parameters you have mentioned ?

About the lab - does it measure the actual parameters of the motor after I connect it ?

If yes where is the output ?

If there is a chance I can share my screen with you online - and you will show me how to start with Team viewer or something like this

Thanks,

Roee

Hi,
Thanks for your help
Ok found this path:
C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_16\sw\modules\fast\src\32b
so I guess the
userParams.h are my parameters
but in the file I see that I need to put this flag:
_USERPARAMS_H_
in order to compile with my parameters

Also when I put the output file and run it I get this:

Initializing target : C:\ti\guicomposer\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.ti.binding.program\appConfig.ccxml
Connecting target: Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe/C28xx
C28xx: GEL Output:

C28xx: Flash Programmer: Warning: The configured device (TMS320F28027), does not match the detected device (). Flash Programming operations could be affected. Please consider modifying your target configuration file.

Loading program: C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2802xF_UNIVERSAL\appProgram.out

C28xx: Loader: One or more sections of your program falls into a memory region that is not writable. These regions will not actually be written to the target. Check your linker configuration and/or memory map.

meaning the device doesn't match
where do I configure the C2000 board ?
Thanks,
Roee

Ok Getting to it.
Found and declare this:

#elif (USER_MOTOR == Roee1)
#define USER_MOTOR_TYPE BLDC
#define USER_MOTOR_NUM_POLE_PAIRS (6)
#define USER_MOTOR_Rr (NULL)
#define USER_MOTOR_Rs (0.4110007)
#define USER_MOTOR_Ls_d (0.0007092811)
#define USER_MOTOR_Ls_q (0.0007092811)
#define USER_MOTOR_RATED_FLUX (0.03279636)
#define USER_MOTOR_MAGNETIZING_CURRENT (NULL)
#define USER_MOTOR_RES_EST_CURRENT (1.0)
#define USER_MOTOR_IND_EST_CURRENT (-1.0)
#define USER_MOTOR_MAX_CURRENT (5.0)
#define USER_MOTOR_FLUX_EST_FREQ_Hz (20.0)


I think this is enough to start.
Now how do I compile with my flag ? (Roee1)

Thanks
Roee

Roee,
you are making progress. Keep reading the InstaSPIN_labs.pdf document

you need to build proj_lab02c with your changes to user.h

you will then load to your Launchpad using CCS and change the flags/variables using the CCS Expressions View to start the ID process.

Once you have proven that work we can look at getting the INSTASPINUNIVERSALGUI to work correctly.

Ok,

Where is the Build logfile is it here:

C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_16\sw\solutions\instaspin_foc\boards\hvkit_rev1p1\f28x\f2806xF\projects\ccs5\proj_lab02c\Release

the XML file: proj_lab02c_linkInfo

I did put variable here:

But in XML file I don't see my variable Roee1 why ?

Can I try to upload this now to webapplication ?

Also how do I know that this lab is good for F28027F chip ?

Thanks,

Roee

what in the world are you trying to do?

have you considered following the instructions? They don't mention anything about creating a new build variable or touching an xml file.

F28027F is InstaSPIN-FOC enabled. InstaSPIN-FOC projects are built using MotorWare. If you have a LAUNCHXL-F28027F and BOOSTXL-DRV8301 you will use the projects at:
C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_16\sw\solutions\instaspin_foc\boards\boostxldrv8301_revB\f28x\f2802xF\projects\ccs5

Ok Understood and done the appProgram.out
Now need to upload it to my board
I will try to do so
Thanks,
Roee

Ok,

Almost read everything

Now I am sure I am doing ok.

However when I build I get errors:

Most of them that program will not fit ??

I did change in the build section to my device which is TMS320F28027F (that BTW is not in the list ??!)

Any way I get errors of program will not fit ?

Should I change this ?

Thanks,

Roee

don't change any build settings.

just follow the instructions.

import the project.
update the user.h
build the project, launch debugger, and connect to target

I am almost sure I am doing all correct.
However it doesn't load it.
I am using this path:

C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2802xF_UNIVERSAL\InstaSPIN_UNIVERSAL.exe
And put the correct :appProgram.out file (I think)
Can I send you my appProgram.out file -> to check that you can load it to C2000 launchpad ?

I am not sure by now if I have HW failure
-- Never giving up :)

Thanks,
Roee

you already have CCS open to build the project. Please follow the InstaSPIN_labs.pdf to see if you can connect to the target and load the program. if so, try to run it following proj_lab02c instructions.

lets worry about the GUI part later. (it likely needs to be reinstalled)

I can certainly send you a .out, though you should be able to build it yourself.
