B-G431B-ESC1 potentiometer control

RWago.1 · ‎2020-07-18

I see in the schematic the potentiometer is referenced on pin 25, however I only see the PWM firmware setup example. Can someone point me to the correct setup?

Hello Laurent,

Yes, frustrating indeed since the potentiometer is already included on the PCB without an example to use it. As I mentioned in the thread months back I did try the other board examples with no success.

Please do let me know when I can exercise an example to complete tests that need to be done before moving forward in replacing another offering we use.

Best Regards,

Your the only response in 2 years...A couple weeks after my last request, I moved on to another non-st solution and that has been doing fine. Maybe someday they will update the ESC samples and I'll re-visit trying again on another project. Yeah, I felt abandoned and spent over $500 on ESC's and supporting items thinking it was going to be a slam dunk. Lesson learned, always have Plan B, C, D, etc. ready to go. :)

I just got myself this board. I tried to spin the motor using the potentiometer after enabling the potentiometer feature and disabling ESC. Is this supported now in ST MCSDK 6.3.2?

HI Laurent,

No, I have not made any progress. Will wait for the next SDK version, and if i the example is still not there, then I look

at the other examples. I am still having problems with profiling the motor, so that's my priority.

Thank you for the response.
