Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPM0G3507
Tool/software:
I'm looking to validate a motor control algorithm programmed on an MSPM0G3507 and I'm using a DRV8242 EVM to test it on a motor. I've taken the CSA signal from the DRV and connected it to the ADC on the M0, which takes the signal and converts it into a ripple count for rotor position estimation. The idea is that once the number of ripples reaches a certain number, say 100 or 1000, the motor would be commanded to stop. The problem is, the number of ripples is a variable calculated and stored only on the M0.
Does the DRV8242 allow for some kind of general-purpose input functionality, such that when a certain pin is set low or high it could command the motor to stop? I figure I could hardwire one of the GPIO outputs on the M0 and set it high once the ripple count has surpassed a certain value. My question is, could I connect this GPIO output to a point on the DRV to get the motor to stop when the command is received?
Let me know if there are any questions about my test setup here.
