Board Manager documentation is out !

The documentation of the Board descriptions format is now available on Motor Control Boards Description Wiki page, this documentation is compatible with MCSDK versions from 6.1.2. Board Descriptions are used by the ST motor-control workbench to enabl...

How to write a Motor control post to get a response quickly

In order to have a quick response to your forum posts, the best way to ask the question is:- Give the version of the MCSDK used. - Say if the problem concerns a tool (MC Workbench, Motor Pilot, Motor Profiler, etc...) - Provide picture of tools inter...

how to speed control the BLDC motor using PID controller with STM32F103C8?

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...

Need to change board supply VCC to 24V instead of 19V without over voltage error.

My motor is rated at 24V volts but the motor control software gives over voltage errors above 21-22V. There seems to be some logic which scales against the ADC reference voltage and generates over voltage errors at around 22V. I suspect there is d...

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...

Problem starting motor with STEVAL-SPIN3201

Hello!We have STEVAL-SPIN3201 board and we need to drive RS PRO 536-6030 motor.Also we built motor control application using Motor control workbench software.After loading the application in the board we are not able to spin the motor.The motor tries...

I am generating code through Motor Control Workbench (X-CUBE-MCSDK) but this error suddenly popping up during code generation. Please assist.

using stm32F070RBtx with motor driver X-nucleo-ihm01a1. for some reason even tho all the SPI pins configurated correctly(miso,mosi and cs) with scope I can see all the data sending and receiving as expected but the buffer still get 0's.

Getting started with STeval-CTM010V1

I've got STeval-CTM010V1 board, with the help of MotorControl Workbench source code is generated. The issue is that on evalboard there is LQFP64 package but code is generated to LQFP100 one - I didn't manage to obtain code which fit the evalboard pac...

B-G431B-ESC1 Firmware Performance and De-sync Issues

I'm trying to create an esc for a drone using the B-G431B-ESC1. Our project requires that we use open source firmware so I'm using the STMCW firmware, and the motor profiler tool. I am comparing results to another ST-based esc that runs BLHeli firmwa...

STM32G431CBU6 - problems with Motor Pilot UART communication

Hello @allThe following problem hunts me since some weeks: I use a custom motor control PCB based on STM32G431CBU. Communication via UART works great through motor pilot but as soon as I start the motor, the comunication is gone and I cant stop the m...
