Newbie question Motor Ware where do I put "my" code?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

Oh, boy another newbie question........

I have been pouring over the web and TI documents, can't find an answer yet.

I have motorware, CCS 5 and am using the DRV8312-69M-KIT and have the motor spinning. Looks cool!

However, I have looked in main.c and don't see where I would put my user code. I there anything equilvent to

"hello world" in motorware? I would like to connect a switch and LED at first. Eventually a switch for ex. 6 turns CC and 2 turn CW.

I do some programming on other micros but with motorware I am rather lost. Would anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?

Much Thanks,

David

  • Hi David

    Have you tried to post on C2000 forum http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171.aspx

    I think they will give you great suggestions to start the coding.

    Thanks.

  • No, but I will, Thank you for answering. I was getting a bit concerned about no replies.

    I have done searches, discovered the user GUI, and downloaded every video on the C2000, MSP430, CCS, and C2000.

    I am using the motor kit, right now, but yesterday I ordered two more kits to learn more about all the above. Mostly, it is getting familiar with what "ti" terminology. You know, what you call things.

    Got to say, I am impressed with TI. You guys have really done a heck of a-lot of work. I have been working with PIC micro's and their compiler, jumped to code warrior and now CCS. I have read a-lot of comments about CCS but until now never tried it. It is impressive. You have made a lifer for TI out of me. I have found that it is not always the smartest one who wins, but the one who is persistent. I am telling you this simply to suggest that I am NOT just asking questions suggesting others do work for me. I actively am engaged in pursueing the answers to my questions including the work it takes to find the answers. I guess that was the long way of saying this is new to me, I need help, I'm willing to work for them and share what I learn.

    Thanks again, I will follow your suggestion, revising my question based on new material and see what happens.

    After several email to other contacts got to say I personally you guys/gals at TI are fantastic, I appreciate your work.

    Thanks,

    David
