Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553,
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
Hi, I'm using the BOOST-DRV8711 with the Launchpad using an MSP430G2553. I'm trying to figure out how to use the DRV8711 to move a motor controller. TI has example code I've uploaded with code composer studio, BOOST-DRV8711_FIRMWAREV1.1.out. I've started the GUI which interfaces with this and the motor runs great. My objective is to write my own application in the MSP430 to run the motor, but I can't decipher anything from the example firmware. There's nothing discussing accelerations or velocities. Is there something more straightforward I can learn from? I'm not sure where to start. I've used the 8711 users manual and can successfully write to the registers. I can move the motor poorly by toggling the step pin. How do I find functions to execute move profiles. Where do I find the documentation?
thx
Matt
