DRV8301BoostXL Controlled with a Potentiometer or Buttons

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8301, MOTORWARE

Hello, I have the DRV8301BoostXL pack with the C2000 Launchpad. I was wondering if there was a way I could get this to work alone, I basically need it to work as a standalone product without a PC, either using a potentiometer to control speed, or maybe a button or two just for two different speeds, nothing too complicated, how would I do this?

    Hi Donald

    I think still you need to go through all the Manuals&Guides of the DRV8301 Boostpack and 28027F. Install motorware and run the examples and labs. After that, you should be able to find where you can modify the control codes to get your goals.

    A important thing is to make sure your C2000 launchpad is for "28027F", not just 28027. They look the same but all our motor examples are coming along with 28027F(There are pre-loaded motor control firmwares in 28027F ROM).

    Also you can always search and ask in C2000 forum to get best answer for your control and software problems.

    Best regards,

    1. select the proj_lab## you want to start with. Ex: proj_lab10
    2. add code into the background loop which initializes any flags / variables.
    3. add code for communications (buttons, ADC/POT, capture, UART, etc.) and translate to instrument your variables. You can see the HAL tutorial for some examples: C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_14\docs\tutorials
