Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28069M
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE, DRV8323
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
I recently got a 28069M launchpad and DRV8323RS boosterpack board and am having trouble seeing the path to an example project. I've got motorware, but it has no examples for this driver board. I tried some launchpad examples for other drivers, but they were looking for some CCSV5 (!?) directories. I tried downloading the "GUI" that has been referenced several places, but couldn't find a way to get started with that, seems to lead to the web. Currently have CCS v8 and Motorware 18, just downloaded yesterday. Seems like this driver board was not made for or supported on this launchpad. But I see posts indicating others have done this. And there is a mix of older information with the newer stuff that tends to confuse the matter.
- Based on analyzing the pinout, it looks like you can plug the DRV8323 booster pack into the J1 thru J4 connections, is that right? Is that what others have done?
- What do people normally do for an initial example project with the DRV8323? I assume it will need to be modified from whatever driver it was designed for, but which is the closest starting place?
- I would like to use InstaSPIN to drive a motor, do I download code for that? Is it only in ROM and I just need to read user guides to access it? I picked this processor because it supports InstaSPIN, just not sure how.
- Found a series of labs in motorware. Are they documented somewhere as to what each one does? I haven't found that either
- Is the GUI only web based, or can it run locally?
Sorry for the cluelessness, but I've been poking at this for several days and do not seem to be making much headway, need a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks
Mike
