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...

Resolved! I am looking for Motor Work Bench communication protocol document because we want to control multiple motors using STSPIN32F0 hence I cant use Motor COntrol Work Bench

Resolved! STM32F FOC SDK User Manual

Is there a newer version for the DocID18458? UM1052 is a very nice (but outdated) user manual for the FOC SDK for STM32F microcontrollers, it is more complete than UM2374 but has not been updated, or at least I can not find a newer version, since Sep...

Anyone else having problems with Nucleo F302R8 with the IHM08M1 driver board to run a motor using the X-Cube SPN8 6-step algorithm?

We are currently using a Nucleo F302R8 with the IHM08M1 driver board and the Bull Running BR2804 motor provided with the development kit. We are using ST's X-Cube SPN8, 6-step software and compiled it, unmodified, with Keil MDK 5. Unfortunately, the ...

Resolved! Where can I download MC SDK V4.3?

I am having the P-Nucleo IHM001. I am trying to generate code using ST Motor Control Workbench, but after building and dumping the code in the controller, the motor is not spinning and two faults are showing up:FOC faultSoftware errorI want to try ol...

Resolved! Why is the STEVAL-SPIN3201 limited to 15 Arms?

Hi, I read in the Data Brief of the STEVAL-SPIN3201 module that it can ouput up to 15 Arms of current but I can't find in the schematic why that it. The mosfet used on the board (STD140N6F7) seems capable of higher current output.We want to port the ...

Resolved! Encoder "reverse counting direction" checkbox not working in ST MC Workbench 5.4.3. What am I missing?

Hi all,I have been pulling my hair out trying different ways to reverse my encoder counting direction.The checkbox "reverse counting direction" in Speed Sensing section does not seem to make any difference. I am using Attolic TrueSTUDIO IDE, and the ...

Resolved! how to turn off both complementary pwm at the same time

I am using STM32F4 to drive a 3 phase BLDC motor and i'm using TIM1 peripheral to generate 6-step PWM(complementary pwm) but when i change the configuration and i disable 1 channel it takes some time to go low which causing problems (you can check th...

Resolved! I want to confirm that the BLDC motor pole number information for ST MC WB . Is the pole number for rotor or stator? I think that the pole pair number is for rotor(number of magnetic / 2). Thank you

Resolved! Does MC_SDK require the use of coprocessor?

We are developing an application to drive dual PMSM motors with STM32H745 and FOC algorithms and resolver sensor. The inner current loops are executed at 10 kHz, PWM carrier frequency is set to 20 kHz. Is it feasible o run the entire application code...

Resolved! Recommended setup for small motor position control?

I have a small BLDC motor with magnetic encoder (like this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33053552345.html) and would like to set up a position control. The NUCLEO-IHM03 comes pretty close https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/evaluatio...
