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...

Resolved! I would like to know if either or both STEVAL-IHM040V1 and EVSPIN32F06Q1S3 are plug and play modules for controlling 3-Phase Sensorless Motors, and do not require initial software programming?

Resolved! Can I use Position control with Hall Sensor with SPIN-3201?

Hi, I am new to the Motion Control system.and I have SPIN-3201 with a BLDC motor.It is hard to apply ST Motor Control Workbench 5.4.6.because the version of STM32CubeIDE and some Setting of the Project(error of FOC duration and Start-up failure)anywa...

QUESTION: FOC motor library. X-CUBE-MCSDK. Use hall sen for encoder align

Hello I have a question directed for the developers of the "X-CUBE-MCSDK: FOC motor control library" or anyone who has knowlege on the subject. Question: My understanding of the FOC (field oriented control) tech is that encoders are not needed due ...

Resolved! Will generating new *.stmx file be picked up when I generate code with CubeMx?

I've been using the motor tools for about a year but some things are still fuzzy, and not documented well.If I make changes to the *.stmx file by using MCSDK to update an existing project will these changes be picked up by CubeMx when I generate code...

In the MCSDK middleware is are the Observer bemf samples accessible ?

Hi All,I'm working on a motor control system where I need access to the firmware bemf observer values for alpha and beta. Is this available in the middleware or MCSDK library? Can someone point me to documentation if it is available?Edit:Adding to th...

How to disable ST MCSDK DAC use in generated project code?

Background:I'm trying to set up DAC1 Ch1 & Ch2 on my motor project and need some understanding of the DAC use. I have read the Ref Manual but am still struggling.My motor project is using a STM32G431C8Ux (48-pin) device but MCSDK does not offer this ...

Start a motor with sensor (using hall sensor) under heavy load situation, the motor will produce noise and motor sometimes can't move successful

I use MCSDK 5.3.2 and our board(which is similar IHM08h but we modify the over current from 30A to 60A) with using hall sensor to drive motor(our purpose is to drive E-bike and E-Scooter)But i find that in heavy load situation，i will hear motor will ...

How to configure MCSDK for multiple motors?

Hello. I have done position control of single motor using P-NUCLEO-IHM03 with GM2804 + AS5048a(pwm encoder). And I hope to control 3 motors for gimbal. So I'm planning to design a board using the MCU and motor driver which are used in the P-NUCLEO-I...

Resolved! Relation between *.stmx file and drive_parameters.h ?

Often I find that MCSDK does not have the exact MCU I need to use so I need to end up modifying the CubeMx *.ico file generated from MCSDK.In trying to determine the relationship of these files I took an existing working project and renamed the *.stm...

Resolved! MCSDK: ICS gain range is 5V but ADC only works with 3.3V

Hi! I am using F746ZG + IHM08M1. And I need configuration with 2 insulated current sensors.My question is why in Workbench ICS gain is in range from -5V to 5V where the ADC max working range ist only 3.3V. Which current sensors should I buy 3.3V or 5...
