Part Number: DRV8301-HC-C2-KIT

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi 

i just got  the DRV830x-HC-C2-KIT from texas instruments. I am new to it and want to know from where to start. I have downloaded the controlsuite and CCS. I opened some sample projects as noted in the how to start guide but I didnt understand the huge code. Please advise from where to start and how learn about this kit.

Regards

    Hi Abdallah,

    Are you wanting to focus on the hardware or software aspects of the kit? or both?

    Is there a specific SW project you're wanting to learn more about (i.e. BLDC, PM Sensorless, etc.)?

    Please review all the docs available within ControlSUITE to get stated:

    C:\ti\controlSUITE\development_kits\DRV830x-HC-C2-KIT_v105\~Docs

    If you haven't already, please install motorWARE. The Lab user guide should be a good resource for you, located at the directory below:

    C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_18\docs\labs\instaspin_labs.pdf

    Best,

    Yes I am interested in both. My professor asked me to learn on it and to program a V/f control as a start. I want to reach a point that I could understand the code functions and what they access on the board . And to know when to use CCS and when to use the gui. I am getting lost from where to start. If there is steps please advise.

    Thank you

    Hi Abdallah,

    I think the documents mentioned above will be a good starting point. If you find that you need a better understanding of the devices being used you can see their respective documentation.

    For the C2000 F28035 device the TRM is a good document to reference: http://www.ti.com/lit/sprui10

    For the DRV8301 I'd check the docs on the product page: www.ti.com/.../DRV8301

    C2000ware is a good resource if you're wanting to focus on C2000 device software, you can download it here www.ti.com/.../C2000WARE. The examples typically focus on a specific module of the device.

    Best,
    Kevin
