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...

Motor commutation using Hall feedback and the Timer input XOR gate

I am planning to us the STM32F103 MCU for BLDC motor control. No encoder, only the usual three Hall sensors. I am attempting to use the XOR gate in Timer channel 1 that combines the rising and falling edges of all three Halls (Ref. Manual RM0008, pa...

Re: Whitepaper - Improve Motor Drive Efficiency

Hi @Camilo LEMOS I had to start a new thread, as you've closed the announcement (which is a strange thing to do in a forum).I went for the whitepaper to find out it requires a rather annoying registration procedure. Why can't we use our my.st.com/co...

Hi ,I am new to STM32 Motor control.I want to control BLDC Motor via B-G431B-ESC1.Also want to use CAN communication.

I used the example from Motor control work bench(ElectronicspeedControl),configured CAN in CubeMX and imported generated code in STMCubeIDE.Now I don't know what should be next step?

I am using steval-spin3201 board, Speed control loop running at FOC frequency of 13kHz.Quadrature encoder is used as feedback sensor.Motor works most of the time, but sometimes it starts running at max RPM in reverse direction. Please help

Error with Motor control after generating .ioc from STCubeMX from example for B-g431b-ESC

I am trying to run the example from motor control work bench for B-G4314-esc1 Electronic speed control.I generated ElectronicSpeedControl.stmcx and generated code in cubeMx.Now when i try to load the configuration in CubeIDE it is showing me error in...

Resolved! Electric brake function for PMSM motor control

Hi, I am using B-G431B-ESC1 board for tests and MC-SDK 5.Y.2. I have a motor with Hall sensors. Are there any possibilities for braking the motor other than setting a downward speed ramp to 0.I mean regenerative braking methods, and I'm also wonderin...

Cannot start BLDC motor with NUCLEO-L476RG & X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1using MotorControl Workbench 5.Y.2

Hi everyone,I am unable to start a Maxon "EC-max 30" BLDC motor (ref 272766) with "NUCLEO-L476RG" development board & "X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1" expansion board using "MotorControl Workbench 5.Y.2" and its corresponding "Motor Pilot 5.Y.2".First of all, the ...

Resolved! Hello I am new to STM32. I want to Use FOC for controlling sensorless motor. Which MPU/MCU can be used for ESC of drone motor?

HelloI am new to STM32. I want to Use FOC for controlling sensorless motor. Which MPU/MCU can be used for ESC of drone motor. I found STEVAL-ESC001v1 can be used as reference design for entry level commercial drone design. Which software I need to do...

Error on the ADC Values of a Multichannel ADC

Hi All,I am presently measuring the two signals below through a multichannel adc that is triggered by the rising edge of a PWM signal on TIM1 CH4.a. Inverter return line current on channel 3 b. Speed reference value from a potentiometer.I am quite su...

Resolved! How can i write a custom program with ST MC?

I got the MCSDK example working, but how can i go further?Can i write custom code that controls the motor without Motor Pilot?[STEVAL-SPIN3201 // maxon BLDC motor]
