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! 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...

Use MotorControl Workbench for STM32f405 (not supported MCU)

I would like to use MCSDK with STM32F405RG, but my problem is, that in MC Workbench, this MCU is not in the list, I found only the STM32F407IG, which is the closest to F405. I tried to generate for F407 (TrueStudio), and than open the CubeMX file, cr...

Resolved! we use the STM32F302R8T6 to FOC pmsm motor control,and use the hall sensor,use the foc lib by st,now the question is the torque is small and motor will seizing-up in slow speed( 10-100rpm)，how to resolve this problem? thanks !

Resolved! Elegant way to generate 6 variable frequency GPIOs with STM32F446RE.

Hello forum, my goal is to emulate a DC motor family with some electronics and an STM32F446RE.The current setup is, an ECU to control 6 of these motors, 6 coils of the motor family as load, 6 current sensors, running in the STM32, and from there i ne...

Resolved! Trapezoidal control for bldc drives

I am developing bldc drives using stm32f103c8t6 MCU. And by using inverter circuit we drive the bldc motor using stm32. Block diagram of drive is shown belowUsing register language, we coded logically for 6 step commutation. And that works fine.But ...
