Motor pilot connection issue

[Nidhi12]

Hi Team,

I am working on a custom board with STSPIN32F0601S3, after generating code using MCSDK Version 6.3.0 with cube Mx 6.10.0, I tried to connect Motor pilot just start/stop and change RPM but it did not connect, Pls confirm which steps I am missing

Below are the steps I followed but still it did not connect 

1.Uploaded and RUN code (using cube ide)
2. RESET board
3. Opened workbench and selected Motor Pilot 
but it leads to default App Mode (pls refer screenshot) not detecting firmware although code is in run mode and not able to use Motor pilot which was along with MCSDK Pack 6.3.0

Hello @Nidhi12,

What is the reported error message (Logs tab) when clicking on "Discover Board" button?

[Nidhi12]

" No ST-Link VCP detected" 

But I am using Custom Board with USB To UART Converter, Do It is needed to click on discover board, it should redirect automatically to Motor Pilot after connecting UART and code, why this default App pops up, not Linking with FW although code is in RUN Mode.

Hello @Nidhi12,

Check if the board Power Supply is switched on.
Set the UART Baudrate to 1843200 in the Workbench User Interface settings and in the MC Pilot tool.
Refer to STM32 MC Motor Pilot - Start-up guide for the complete user manual documentation.

Hi,

I am getting these logs in motor pilot, also it worked when I loaded GUI directly then only it connected to USB to UART. Pls confirm is there any issue that we can't directly use Motor Pilot with custom board, first we have to load GUI file(.qml) then it will work!! is this the limitation of motor pilot ,won't work with usb to ttl only with st-link VCP it works?

Hello @Nidhi12,

The "Discover board" feature in Motor Pilot tool is available only when using an STLINK connection.
For other use cases, the user must load the associated QML file and manually select the COM port.
