Using the BOOST-DRV8711

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8711, BOOST-DRV8711

Hello, 

I am working with my university on an application with a stepper motor. The suggested driver circuit is the Boosterpack with DRV8711 (BOOST-DRV8711) circuit. This item is easily mounted on a MSP430 launchpad and configured. Also, a GUI is provided in the User's Guide. 

I was wondering if there is a way to operate this boosterpack without the provided firmware and GUI. I don't seem to find any options related to this specific boosterpack. 

If anyone can help me, I'll be very thankful.

    Hi,

    The DRV8711 requires a SPI transaction to enable the device. It also accepts step commands through the STEP and DIRECTION pins. You could connect a SPI tool, pulse generator, and several general purpose logic controls to the BoosterPack to manually control it but this might take some effort and validation.
