LDC1612: ESI + LDC Inductive Linear Position Sensing

Part Number: LDC1612
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR6989

Dear TI team members,

We would like to operate ESI+LDC1612 inductive linear position sensing function by use MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad and Booster Pack board with driver “MSP430 Flash Emulation Driver Installer” and “Sensing Solutions EVM GUI”, then we can get data streaming change in “Sensing Solutions EVM GUI” by moving a rectangular metal target on BoosterPack board, am I right? Do we need to use other software from TI?

PS:
MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad --- Rev 1.1
BoosterPack board --- We followed TI design files (section 8 of ESI + LDC Inductive Linear Position Sensing) to draw schematics and layout (ongoing) it by ourselves.
MSP430 Flash Emulation Driver Installer --- Rev 1.0.1.1
Sensing Solutions EVM GUI --- v1.10.0

I would like to confirm with you about my description ahead is correct or not before we finish BoosterPack board layout because we want to develop related product about linear position sensor.

Thank you.

Best  Regards

Daniel Huang

  • Hi Daniel,

    I do not see any issues with your current setup. Although the ESI + LDC Inductive Linear Position Sensing Reference Design has included software for development purposes, I do not see any reason why interfacing this design with the Sensing Solutions GUI would not work.

  • Hi Nicole,

    Thanks for your feedback and confirmation!
    I also would like to confirm two questions with you below.

    1.May I see the distance data change in LCD display on MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad? Or I only see the distance data from “Data Streaming” function in “Sensing Solutions EVM GUI”?
    2.Due to our BoosterPack board be doing layout process, I want to confirm with you previously that we can see the chart “Inductance vs. Linear Slider Position” like figure 23 in datasheet “ESI + LDC Inductive Linear Position Sensing” by using “Data Streaming” icon in “Sensing Solutions EVM GUI”? Or we need to use other icon in this GUI or else use other GUI?

    Would you please correct my description ahead if my understanding is incorrect.

    Best regards.

    Daniel

  • Hi Daniel,

    I'm locking this thread now, as it seems that this is a duplicate of another question
