Insta-Spin kit - compatibility with BLDC motor

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8312, INSTASPIN-BLDC

Hello,

I am currently using this motor in a project:

http://www.shinano.com/motors/docs/SKC_brushless_motors.pdf

I am wondering if I can use the TI DRV8312 kit to run this motor (http://www.ti.com/tool/drv8312-c2-kit)

and if so, how would I connect this motor to the kit?

Data sheet for the motor is attached:

7357.DR-38312 SKC_brushless_motors.pdf

Any feedback or input is welcomed and appreciated!

Best regards,

Paul

  • Paul,

    The wiring list is very interesting.  I can tell there are differential hall connections and hall bias, but the phase connections are not marked as usual.  Usually you see a U, V, W signal corresponding to the 3 motor phase connections and the hall sensors will be marked the same as well corresponding to each phase.   Here you have W1, W2, and W3 with 2 wires per.  These have to be the 3 phases, but I am not sure how they would hook up.  The hall sensors do not need to be hooked up at all with InstaSpin.

    If you had the motor, you could hook it up to a drill and spin the shaft wire looking at the phase wires with a 3-channel scope.  This would give you a BEMF signature that you could use to determine the wiring connections to the EVM.  

  • there are 8 motors listed in your links, but InstaSPIN-BLDC will run them beautifully, and nice and slow if you want. It will very robust...a good motor to demonstrate the capability.

    But looking at the datasheet it's not clear that you have access to the phase wires through the connector on many (most have built in controlllers?).

    I'm with Ryan, I'd try W1, W2, and W3 if you are talking about motor 1.

    Order doesn't matter. If you don't like the direction swap two of them.
