Looking for real-time Brush-less motor controller evl board

Hi,

We are a robotic start-up company based on Irvine CA, We are looking for real-time motor controller/driver evl board to test for our product.

At present we have few issues with the motor driver we have (other vendor):

1. it's not real-time

2. Can't take RPM and adjust PWM/speed quickly, very inaccurate at low speed

3. Motor noise at low speed

Could you please suggest me EVL board to try-out and see if we can get above issues resolved?

We have 3 phase brushless motors (with gear-ratio and without).

Thank You

Neeraj

    what is your rotor feedback?

    To be clear, what you would be getting from TI is an MCU evaluation board, with a low voltage 3-phase inverter plug-on board, with reference source code example of a specific technique (say servo position control using incremental encoder feedback).  It would be up to you to use that software as a starting point to create your whole software solution and product.  just want to make sure you realize that these aren't a fully formed robotics solution where you are just doing high-level interaction/commands.  This is a solution that motor control companies use to make their servo products.

    Hi ChrisClearman,

    Thank you for your reply and suggestions.

    We have hall sensor and encoder from motor. These are brushless motor with 48V 0-30A input.

    Could you please share link to see evl boards available for our requirements?

    I will explore SDK meantime.

    Thank you

    Neeraj

    DRV8301-69M-KIT

    is probably the closest with the current requirements, but it's a bit older board that supports InstaSPIN-MOTION (encoder) through  MotorWare and there are some older Hall sensor projects available in controlSUITE under DRV8301-C2-KIT (uses a different MCU controlCARD but same inverter).
