DRV8312-C2-KIT: DRV8312-C2-KIT

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, MOTORWARE

Hello,

I have got the DRV8312-C2 kit:

http://www.ti.com/tool/DRV8312-C2-KIT

Could somebody give hints how I should start with it?

I downloaded the up-to-date Code Composer Studio and up-to-date Control Suite from the web (because encountered problems with SW from USB stick provided with dev kit, using Win10)

Control Suite is correct SW to run some GUI for the motor and further develope the control? 

Or maybe http://www.ti.com/tool/C2000WARE-MOTORCONTROL-SDK is better (more user friendly, more configuration possibilities)?

What I'd like is to start with some GUI with FOC, Vector Control to understand how the control works and then develope my own control algorithm (preferably on block diagrams).

Is there any block diagram based software to facilitate with developement of FOC?

Here are some solutions/tools that I found, but maybe someone can suggest the best and straightworward one:?

1. http://www.ti.com/lit/an/sprabz2/sprabz2.pdf website contains the following diagram, what program is this?

2. http://www.ti.com/tool/DESIGNDRIVE  - usefull for me?

3. http://www.ti.com/tool/MOTORWARE - usefull for me?

4. https://powersimtech.com/drive/uploads/2017/01/Tutorial-Simulation-and-Code-Generation-of-TI-InstaSPIN-Using-DRV8312-EVM.pdf -TI independent software?

5. TI suggested Altair Embed SW at some website, maybe this one would facilitate block diagram building...? 

Regards,

Adam
