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...

In MotorControl Workbench 5.Y.1, How do I set 6STEP control.

How to determine the maximum phase current of a given PMSM?

Hi,I'm designing a custom driver for a 50W 24V PMSM. How to calculate the maximum motor phase current to define the shunt resistances and the amplifiers gain?

B-G431B-ESC1 motor profiler not working

Hi,I am trying to use motor profiler 5.4.6 with B-G431B-ESC1. I tried to profile different bldc motors, but it gives me a lot of issue. Sometimes profile is successful but when I hit the motor stop working giving problems with speed feedback. I tried...

B-G431B-ESC1 dynamic braking

Is it possible to use B-G431B-ESC1 discovery kit for dynamic braking?So that kit would work as some sort of a rectifier? And it would be possible to dissipate energy in power resistors.And if not what BLDC motor control evaluation board supports such...

3-phase BLDC motor driver for NUCLEO-F446RE

Excuse me, I have a NUCLEO-F446RE board. I am looking for a motor driver for a 3-phase BLDC motor with Hall Effect sensor. Can I use X-NUCLEO-IHM16M1? Is it compatible?

Resolved! IHM07M1 + NUCLEO-F446RE at 48V ST Motor Profiler cannot complete

I am using an IHM07M1 with NUCLEO-F446RE, and a rather large BLDC motor.If I use a 24V supply voltage the ST Motor Profiler 5.Y.1 is able to complete fine, but when I connect my 48V supply the profiler almost immediately fails once I start it, I don'...

Hi I am completely new to the ST environment I am busy reading all of the documentation and one question comes up: from what I can gather 3 IDE environments are used: STM Cube IDE, IAR Embedded workbench and MDK. Can STM cube IDE do what the others do?

How to start PMSM in open Loop FOC and Transition to closed LOOP FOC using HALL Sensor

Hi Team,Please provide API and steps to transition from an Open Loop FOC to a closed Loop FOC using HALL SensorI am using motor control SDK 5.4.0Thanks,Krupashankar

How about a little help connecting to a STEVAL-SPIN3202, thanks!

I'm a total novice with all ST hardware and software so hopefully this one will be an easy fix for the experts out there. Forget spinning a motor, I can't get the Motor Control Workbench to even talk with my STEVAL-SPIN3202 board. I've added some pic...

How to invert shunt signals in software?

We are using the latest MCSDK on some custom hardware and our hardware design has inverted shunt signals from the design examples. An inverted shunt signal obviously won't work properly with the motor controller code. I have been looking in the softw...
