LAUNCHXL-F28069M: Does LAUNCHXL-F28069M support two BOOSTXL-DRV8301

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BOOSTXL-DRV8301, , DRV8301

The Boosterpack checker always considers the second BOOSTXL-DRV8301 incompatible but I thought the purpose of the two Boosterpack connectors was to test motors under load? Does LAUNCHXL-F28069M support two BOOSTXL-DRV8301? It seems to be offered as a kit with one or two BOOSTXL-DRV8301's.

mwindham,

I am looking at the BoosterPack checker page and it appears that the DRV8301 is compatible with both sites of the LaunchPad.
There are various e2e posts on this topic as well. Mathworks does also offer a solution: www.mathworks.com/.../49109-dual-motor-control-with-ti-launchxl-f28069m-launchpad

Regards,
Mark

The point was that if you use the BoosterPack checker, you can only get one BOOSTXL-DRV8301 in either slot, but not both.

Yes, that is true. It seems to be a limitation of the tool itself. I will provide feedback to that team to allow multiple of the same Boosterpacks during a session.

FYI: I filed a bug on the tool for this, as well as another issue I see where when removing a BP from the LaunchPad it ends up in the "incompatible" list.
