MCSDK 6.4.0 is out!

Dear MCSDK users, MCSDK version 6.4.0 is now available: Download It here. This version of the new Motor Control SDK 6 series (X-CUBE-MCDSK) provides mainly FOC and 6Step improvements, here are the main changes for this version: Motor Control Features...

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...

Controlling Brushless motors with an ESC

I'm working on using an STM32F446RE board to control two brushless motors using a SimonK ESC (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NMJRJKJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details) (sorry I don't know how to shorten the link) now normally these types of produ...

Hello everone, I am new to STM and I have a STEVAL-spin3201. I want to drive a BLDC motor named U65HN-024KS. When using motor pilot program, it starts spinning and over current fault just appears and stops.

I am not sure that I am using the proper motor. Because, according to the setting in motor section, it should be PMSM and be controlled with FOC algorithm. Since I only know that this motor is BLDC, I dont know that if my motor is supported by this a...

Motor control with a resolver, using either STEVAL-ESC001V1 or B-G431B-ESC1 and the MCSDK

Hello,I am working on a motor control project. The position feedback is given by a motor resolver.The issue is that I cannot find the option for a resolver in the Motor Control Workbench, only Hall sensors or Encoder. Is there any way to go past this...

Resolved! Another undefined reference issues with MC SDK and C++

I've been trying to develop a C++ application which uses the C based MC SDK (would really be nice if STM would provide a supported wrapper). I'm getting:arm-none-eabi-g++ -o "nucleo_demo_y4.elf" @"objects.list" -mcpu=cortex-m4 -T"C:\Users\dustin\re...

(Bug Report) When using encoder, the generated code has a few defects - speed calculation is not reliable, no speed reliability check, and no scheme to clear speed feedback fault

Bug report :Max speed with Hall sensors

Dear MCSDK team,We met a difficulty using Hall sensors as our primary speed and position sensor.When setting a mechanical speed higher than UINT16_MAX / nb_pair_poles / 2 the value of hMaxReliableElSpeedUnit is overflowing in the Hall_Init function. ...

Hello, I want to control a low voltage BLDC sensorless motor so I bought a nucleo-ihm11m1 card as I have an Arduino board and I saw in the datasheet that it is Compatible with Arduino UNO R3 connector. But for programming the arduino I'm stucked.

Resolved! Hello, I am using the STEVAL-ESC001v1 board with a BLDC motor. I would like to use the Hall sensor mode but I cannot access the pin selection for the Hall sensors in the MC Workbench Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue ? Thank you.

Hi, I am working on an ACIM motor 4 pole, I discovered that there is a software example based on STEVAL-IHM023V3. As the motor is a 48 volt 10 Amps I'd like to drive it with B-G431B-ESC1, is there some firmware porting available or a guide to do this?

STSPIN32F0: Why does BLDC Motor stop with a Speed Feedback Fault on Loading it?

Hello All,I am using STSPIN32F0 controller to run a BLDC motor at 1400 RPM. I am using ST Motor Control Workbench and IAR IDE for my project.Motor Design Specs:Rated Voltage: 36VRated Current: 10AmpRated RPM: 1400 RPMMy Motor Starts without any issue...
