DRV8301-69M-KIT: InstaSPIN-FOC to instaSPIN-BLDC?

Part Number: DRV8301-69M-KIT
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INSTASPIN-BLDC, CONTROLSUITE

Hi. I just bought a DRV8301-69M-KIT which I originally planned to use instaSPIN-FOC to control my BLDC motor. But now I realize that using this software is far more complicated than I thought. 

Is it possible to turn this kit into instaSPIN-BLDC just by replacing the Piccolo TMS320F28069MPZT control card with the one used in the DRV8301-HC-C2-KIT, C2000 Piccolo F28035 MCU controlCARD?

  • yes.

    alternatively, there is an InstaSPIN-BLDC build in controlSUITE for the 69 controlCARD. It will probably work. The 69M controlCARD you have may include the IQmath library in a different portion of ROM though than the standard 69 controlCARD. If you have issues with the code this is the reason. You would have to link in the IQmath.lib into the project directly. I'd give it a try with the card you have. If it doesn't work decide if you want to try this software re-linking or just purchas the other controlCARD.
