Unable to generate project to run STEVAL-SPIN3204

I am using STEVAL-SPIN3204 to drive the BLDC motor. I'm using a "Motor Control Workbench" to get the code for vector control, but I get an error when generating the code. Does anyone know a solution?

I loaded the demo project from the workbench onto my STEVAL-SPIN3204, but whenever I use the monitor to start the motor I hear a beep and feel a pulse, but the motor does not spin. Did I miss anything?

Voltage unit clarification

Dear MCSDK team,Could you clarify SDK conversion from Volts to s16v.In UM2392 document it says that 1s16v = VMAX / 32768 -> s16v = V * 32768 / VMAXIn MC Parameters Calculations document / Current Controllers slide, it says that Gains in V / A are con...

Hi, I'm using STM32G431KBT6 board. I couldn't get PWM complementary output to drive stepper motor (28byj-48 5VDC). How can I do that ?

I'm using TIM1 pwm generation ch1 ch1n & ch2 ch2n. My deadtime is set to 200. It's running at 100Hz and %50 duty cycle. I set the parameters as it should but nothing is working. My channel 1 & channel 2 settings are the same. Can someone help me to d...

Overload Derating

I want to know the overload based derating, there will be continuous current and the peak current. If the current exceeds continuous current for a certain duration i consider overload. What to be done i do not know. Does ST has any application notes?

STEVAL IHM034V2 evaluation board, three phase induction motor is not running, PWN and IPM module is not working

Hi,i'm using the a STEVAL-IHM034V2 board for evaluation (PFC + FOC PMSM).i am using three phase induction motorwell I am using the Motor Control Workbench 5.4.7, for generating code , Keil uVision5 for burring the code in Controller , the code is bu...

I have a "Electronic speed controller Discovery kit for drones with STM32G431CB" and I want to use the UART for custom I/O but the exposed UART pins on the edge of the board are connected between U6 and U8 and cannot be used by me. Is this true?

I'm trying to use this board to develop the serial I/O "user interface" for my application but I don't have my custom board yet.

How I connect to Steval-IPM15B ?

I have Nucleo-F302R8T6 and STEVAL-IPM15B. But I don't know how to connect the pins. I tried to connect it by looking at the pins from the Motor control workbench program, but some pins were exposed, RX, TX pins were exposed. Can you help me how to c...

can not disable encoder alignment

The generated codes are same when check or not check the button 'Encoder Alignment'.

Weired output then OC, and controller damaged

Hi all,I am using f303rb with ihm08-1sh to control a motor, motor control is MCSDK 5.3.2Using HSI which has 64MHz clock speed.I set the PWM frequency to 15K, and FOC execution rate = 2.In most time, it works okay.In a very low probability, it will O...
