Connecting to STEVAL-ESC001V1

[CSzat]

Exactly how does one connect the "Motor Profiler" to an out-of-the-box STEVAL-ESC001V1?

I read all of the available documentation to no avail. Is the STLink USB hardware device required and does it need to be connected to the J4 "SWD" port?

One section of the documentation [UM2197] "implies" that a 3.3V USB-to_TTL serial connection to the J2 "UART" connector would work:

UART/I²C port (J2): normally used for serial communication between the ESC board and a PC; ST MC Workbench can be connected with the STM32, adding an external circuit (requires USB/RS232 converter-3v3 level)

.... but when the Motor Profiler is connected in this manner, I always receive a "No STLink Detected" error from the ST-Link CLI v2.4.0 from the Motor Profiler software.

Thanks for your help,

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to connect the ESC (which is also connected with the flight controller) with my PC through the 3v TTL-USB converter and also connecting the SWD port to its corresponding STLINK V2 pins. What can I do in order to make the motor spin? Regarding the pwm generation with the flight controller I'm able to generate my desired pwm signal but I'm having problems with the ESC firmware with the motor control workbench . How do you generated the proper firmware for the ESC in order to set the maximum and minimum pwm values?
