Tool/software:
I have been trying to change the settings of the DRV8214 EVM GUI, and every time i toggle a new settings, it resets back to factory. My board connected just fine and i have 11VDC psu connected, cannot change ANY settings at all.
Any thoughts?
Hello,
I would suggest starting with the following FAQ. (+) [FAQ] Why won't my Motor Driver EVM connect to the GUI? - Motor drivers forum - Motor drivers - TI E2E support forums
If you haven't already, sometimes power cycling the power supply or removing/re-plugging USB connection to PC will help to reconnect.
When using the cloud-based GUI, it's important to make sure the TI Cloud Agent Bridge is downloaded and activated on your extensions tab.
When using the desktop GUI app the GUI Composer Runtime (GC Runtime) should be downloaded and installed to properly communicate with the EVM. This should be installed when the app is downloaded but sometimes network firewalls can prevent proper installation. If this occurs, then the GC Runtime installer must be downloaded from the app installer here.
Be sure that the GC Runtime installer is downloaded to a local folder before running the app installer.
Best,
David
