Can I re-program the MSP430 on the DRV8805 EVM?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8805EVM

Dear Motor Drivers Forum,

     Is there any reason I couldn´t change the code of the onboard uC on the DRV8805EVM? I´d like to operate the motor with a simple set of controls - switch to turn it on and off, potentiometer to adjust the speed.

      Thanks!

  • You definitely can. You will need a few things though, including some sort of development environment (Code Composer Studio works, should be free), a MSP430 FET Tool (MSP-FET430UIF I believe), and some microcontroller knowledge or the willingness to learn. The source code is on the EVM home page in a zip folder under the Board Files section.
