Resolved! Motor Pilot bugging. Is my Workbench configuration wrong?

Hi, I'm getting some nonsense values in Motor Pilot under "MC Configuration". It says there is no max app current or voltage, and my PWM frequency is something ridiculous. I've tried changing it to 25kHz and 20kHz, and these were the readings. I've n...

How to change between FOC and 6-step algorithm?

This might be the most banal question you've heard all day. I don't know if it's even possible, but I thought there is the option of switching between the two. I'm using hall sensors for my application, so it probably doesn't matter much either way.W...

Why do I need to specify current?

Hi. I'm getting fault after fault trying to get my motor to run. FAQ document says to change ramp-up parameters. Why? Why should I specify any current values? I want the motor to get to a certain speed, and the control algorithm should handle the MOS...

Can I control a BLDC motor based on encoder counts?

Hello.I'm using Nucleo F446re and IHM07M to control a BLDC motor. It has a built-in 2000 pulse quadrature encoder. The MCSDK version is 5.4.8. I tried the position control method and it works fine. However, it only allows me to control the motor base...

Controlling B-G431-ESC1 brushless motor controller via a master microcontroller (ATmega2560) over UART. Can't find resources.

Hi, I'm trying to control a BLDC motor via a B-G431B-ESC1 and an Arduino Mega. The Mega will be the master and send commands to the board. For ease of use, I'd like if it these were strings. I have found examples of how to use UART in an STM32 applic...
