DRV10983-Q1: Getting the register values used in the evaluation GUI.

Part Number: DRV10983-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV10983

I've got my motor spinning nicely using the eveluation GUI, but I can't get a jot of movement from our production board using our own driver code.
Is there any way of finding out exactly what values are being written to the registers with the GUI?

Selecting 'Save' from the menu produces a 'cfg' file, but the contents do not match up with the list of registers on the datasheet.

On the GUI "Basic Settings" Tab, you should see "Save" button on the bottom right. Press save to save the settings as a csv file. You should see the settings like below with the format address and value

"DRV10983Q1 0x90 0x0"
"DRV10983Q1 0x91 0x0"
"DRV10983Q1 0x92 0x0"
"DRV10983Q1 0x93 0x0"
"DRV10983Q1 0x94 0x0"
"DRV10983Q1 0x95 0x0"
"DRV10983Q1 0x96 0x0"

these addresses from 0x90 to 0x96 match the registers as shown in the datasheet ( http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv10983-q1.pdf ).

Please make sure not to mix up DRV10983 with DRV10983-q1

Thanks. The eval board is a DRV10983 and our production unit is DRV10983-Q1, but I managed to translate the settings over to the newer device.
