Choosing the ST micro for FOC for motor controller applications

[JDesi.1]

Hi all,

I want to start ​using ST micro controller for motor controller application using FOC, encoder based.

I want to know which STM32 evaluation board I can buy?

Also please suggest me what are the other motor controller softwares I can download for free or I need to develop from beginning. Please help me, I want to start using ST.​

Hello @JDesi.1​ ,

The FOC implementation reference code can be found here :

Regarding evaluation board, It will depend on your needs. If you can detail your application, and your motor characteristics it will help us to guide you through the ST offer.

Regards

Any advice please I need to buy the board.

[cedric H]

Could you please provide your motor characteristics.

From the reference you gave, I did not find the max current and the power of your motor, only the DC bus voltage.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for the support, I have the following two motors with me , first AC300022 24V 3-PHASE BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR WITH ENCODER and AC300020 24V 3-PHASE BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR with Hall sensors. First i want to drive AC300022 with FOC and learn the concepts of FOC. Could you please guide me with the evaluation board to drive the above motor.
