Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8316A
Tool/software:
I have the MCF8316 motor driver and I am trying to have it rune MPET or use smart tune to start it working using the motor studio GUI, I loaded the registers with the file given in this other thread MCF8316D: Programming MCF8316D for the First Time - Motor drivers forum - Motor drivers - TI E2E support forums
When I try the MPET it logs that it is trying R and L measurements but it does nothing beyond this point.
When I try running smart tune with my motor parameters it will sometimes spin the motor a few degrees before throwing two faults, MPET_IPD_FAULT and CONTROLLER_FAULT.
The powersupply is set to about 20V which is below the motor max and it has a high enough current limit that I am not hitting the supply limit.
I am at this point unsure what causes these faults or how to update the registers to fix them?
As a secondary questions since I am new with motor drivers like this one, when I go to program the registers I know the values can be found in the datasheet for each address but is there any guide for how find what should be written to each register based on my design?
Edit: after trying multiple register config files from another thread it seems to be primary an issue with the configuration so this is now more a question on how I generate the right values for the registers.
