Motor Control Board Customization

[Carador]

Hi every one

I have defined a custom motor and inverter successfully.

Now I need to define custom features like a simple Digital output(LED for instance).

Is there any way?

or should I cut working on stmcubemx and continue coding after code generated by workbench.

in other words:

Is there any way to modify workbench generated .ioc file and again generate project file after editing it?

(for example after adding a digital output?)

Thanks a lot

Hello Carador,

After the .ioc generation via WorkBench, you are allowed to configure again your project using CubeMX to fit your application, and re-generate again without tampering with the motor control code. Obviously, this only works if you don't modify the Motor Control related configuration done by the Workbench.

Hi Dear Gael A

Thanks to your great response.

There is a little problem here: 

I generate and compile V/F example without any problem.

Then I open Stm32Cubemx and with no modification again generate the code using it.

This time after compilation I face with this error: 

fatal_error: arm_math.h No such file or directory

I know I may be able to dig the code and overcome this error but I think there is a bug in version 6.3.2 or I am making a mistake that is not clear to me.

would you please help me?

Thanks

Hello Carador,

As you are using an example, the handling is a bit different. Let me ask a few questions :

First, what version of CubeMx are you using for code generation ?
Did you save the project in a different folder with CubeMx before re-generating ?

[Carador]

Hi again

I use version 1.17.0 of CubeMx and generated the code using latest version of firmware.

Yes, I saved example using save as and save it in another location with new project name.

No, I did not save it in another folder before regenerating it.

yours.

Hello again,

I think you are mixing up CubeMx and CubeIDE. Even though CubeMx has an integrated GUI inside CubeIDE, it is a different software that is responsible for code generation. Its latest version is 6.13. On the other hand, CubeIDE manages code display and debugging, and its latest version is 1.17.

I would like to know which CubeMx version you used for generation. You can see it just before generation via Workbench.

[Carador]

Sorry

Yes, I mixed up versions.

here is the correct ones:

STM32CubeIde Ver 1.17.0

STM32CubeMX Ver 6.13.0

with best wishes,

Dear Gael A

I compared 2 folder:

in Folder B the generated code using .ioc and STM32CubeMX,

one line is missing in .cproject

this is :

<listOptionValue builtIn="false" value="../../Drivers/CMSIS/DSP/Include"/>

it is in this section: 

<option IS_BUILTIN_EMPTY="false" IS_VALUE_EMPTY="false" id="com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.gnu.managedbuild.tool.c.compiler.option.includepaths.1663155527" name="Include paths (-I)" superClass="com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.gnu.managedbuild.tool.c.compiler.option.includepaths" valueType="includePath">

When I added this line, problem solved.

I wish your team will ad this line in future releases or any solution, so we can generate code using STM32CubeMX without this modification.

After that I would like to open a more challenging discuss.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Dear Gael A

Thanks you a lot, Now I have no problem and feel free to edit just a line in .project, it is easy.

Thank you so much.

With best wishes,

Carador
