DRV8308EVM: Can 10 evaluation modules be operated using one computer?

Part Number: DRV8308EVM

Hi,

I am planning to run 10 evaluation modules.

Do we have to connect the evaluation module to computer to drive the motors? If yes, Can we connect 10 evaluation modules to one computer?

Thanks,

Onkar.

    Onkar,

    The DRV8308EVM does not need to connect to a computer to drive motors. You can either connect your own MCU to the EVM and program the registers that way, or you can use the device in EEPROM mode using the EEPROM socket on the board.

    If you want to use the GUI, it can only communicate to one board at a time. However, there might be a way to take the SPI signals from one board and split them out to all 10 boards to program the registers. If you do this, you probably won't be able to read the registers back. However, we haven't tested this use case on the EVM, so I can't guarantee that it will work.
