DRV 8312 C2 Kit Port pin connections

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8312

Dear all,

There is a jumper J5 available in the baseboard of the DRV8312 C2 kit, which I think can be used as external port pins.

However, as I looked into the datasheet of DRV8312 Baseboard, it shows only the odd numbered pins

being connected to the controlCARD slot. What happens to the even numbered pins?

Are they connected to the controlCARD as well? Are there are any GPIO pins in the J5 slot that I can use to

connect to the controlCARD slot?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Vignesh.

Vignesh,

Look over to the right on the schematic page a bit and you will see the even numbered pin connections on J5.

J5 is a connector you can use to interface the DRV8312 with an external MCU of your choosing.

Thanks a lot Ryan! Should 've looked closer.

Are there any examples to use external MCU's with this kit?

Thanks & Regards,

Vignesh.
