Part Number: DRV8300DPW-Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F28027F, , MOTORWARE, DRV8300

Tool/software:

I'm currently working on a motor control project using:

LAUNCHXL-F28027F (C2000 MCU with InstaSPIN-FOC support)
DRV8300DPW-Q1EVM (3-phase gate driver)
Code Composer Studio (CCS) as my development environment

1. How do I install MotorWare and the InstaSPIN-FOC GUI properly?

2. How do I apply InstaSPIN-FOC code inside CCS?

3. How can I implement and test my own custom FOC algorithm in CCS?

Hey Santosh,

You can download motorware though this link:

https://www.ti.com/tool/MOTORWARE#downloads

For porting the INSTASPIN to work with DRV8300, I will refer to the C2000 team for advice.

Best,

Akshay

This file shows a 404 error: https://www.ti.com/staging/error404.htm. I installed MotorWare, but I wasn't able to download InstaSPIN-FOC and InstaSPIN-MOTION.

Download and install motorware which has many example projects to support this kit, and follow the lab guide to understand these lab projects. The GUI can't support the DRV8300 directly, recommend you follow the guides below to run these labs within CCS.
