DRV8301: Using the InstaSpin-FOC GUI, how can I change the "control timing" settings?

Part Number: DRV8301

Question in the title. It says to change in user.h precompile, Im not sure what this means since I've made the changes to the file and saved it and InstaSpin wont use the settings. I've tried importing all sorts of directories into CCS as projects and rebuilding, but nothing updates. Can anyone walk me through opening the right thing in CCS and building and getting the new xxx.OUT file that I can use with InstaSpin-FOC, please? Thank you.

    So you've changed user.h in your project and did a rebuild on it to generate a new .out, correct?

    If you're using the GUI .exe, have you copied that new .out into the GUI folder (something like C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\InstaSPIN_F2806xM_UNIVERSAL) and renamed it to appProgram.out?

    If you're using GUI Composer within CCS, have you loaded and run the new .out through CCS and enabled real-time emulation mode?

    Thank you for the help! I'm using the standalone GUI composer, I edited user.h and built lab2 which should identify the motor, put the .out file in the right folder and renamed appProgram.out, and the GUI doesn't reflect my changes. Im also not sure how to actually ID the motor using the Universal GUI either

    There's a guide for the GUI in motorware\docs\guis\universal. There's a Motor ID section in there that should walk you through the steps. Have you tried that?

    What specifically did you change in your user.h? Are you using one of the sets of motor parameters already defined in the user.h or are you using your own motor?
