I complile and flash a sample project successfully on the board. However still cannot connect motor profiler to make precision tuning of the motor. Any ideas why it cannot connect?

 

Thank you, Kamil

my fault

I have unpluged the usb, connected again and set the baudrate 1843200

 

however no change on my side, even with 1843200

 

Do you have a channel I can call you on for further checking?

Hi @Kamil1 ,

Which option are you currently using to connect to Motor Pilot?

You should connect the B-G431-ESC1 to the Motor Pilot via USB (1). Do not use the UART connection (2).

I'm using only the micro usb (1),

I have only the PWM signal, ground and 5V soldered (2) for future use with PWM generator

I think that we can use Teams for a call, I need to install it first. Thank you for your support

Okay, we can use Team to continue the discussion. Please send me an email at levietduc0712@gmail.com

Hello @Kamil1,

Did you progress on this issue? 
Did you try to fully generate the project with default settings (default Baudrate) from scratch, flash the project, launch firmware on debugger, and on motor pilot, before connecting it "GUI/Reset GUI to Default/Discover Board".
It is not needed to generate code with CubeMx (step3, it has been already done on step2).

Hello GMA, thank you for your tip. I have tried the default project with the motor profiler box checked (it is not checked in default settings), firmware is probably succesfully flashed, motor start spinning when I push the button on the board. However I still cannot connect the motor profiler. I'm still getting the same error, aspep beacon timeout, port open try to configure the board.

Also I have tried a lot of different versions of MCSDK (6.3.2, 6.1.2, 5.4.8,), instalation in different folder, everything uninstalled and installed again, as it is mentioned on other threads. I have the correct com port number, board is not connected to any other application. but nothing helped.

Would it be possible to get some test firmware that I can flash to the board and use Putty or Tera term to see if the board is sending UART signal via usb to the pc? I'm not skilled in programming to write something like that on my own.
