A getting started kit for BLDC with FOC

OCn

Hi!

I'd like to lean how to control Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor using Field Orientation Control (FOC) algorithm. In TI's website there seems to be several kits good for me to get started.

I think I need:

1. A controller (one from the C2000 family?)

2. All the circuit board(s) for controlling a BLDC motor

3. A BLDC motor (not included in kit is OK as long as I can know how to find an appropriate one)

Could anyone advise a list of the kits that I can choose?

Hello OCn,

There's a lot to choose from. The motor drive evaluation boards and software with C2000 can be found here.: https://www.ti.com/microcontrollers/c2000-real-time-control-mcus/design-development.html#application

But I think you might want to check out these resources first and see what kind of motor, software, and controller works best for you.

The introduction of motor Control with C2000 refer to the link below. https://www.ti.com/microcontrollers/c2000-real-time-control-mcus/applications/motor-control.html
