Profile a motor which is not in the Workbench Motors Tab

[Gary_Baldy]

Hello,

Introduction

I would like to profile a motor which is not in the motors tab in MC Workbench. I have done some Googling and reviewed the ST documentation (STM32 Motor Control SDK > Motor Profiler Application Note) but have not found the solution to my problem.

Problem Description

Because the motor I'm using is not provided in an ST development pack I did the following:

New Project > Modular > 1 Motor > FOC > Next

My motor is not in the list so I click next to select the power board (IHM08M1) and control board (F302R8). That's as far as I can get because without selecting a motor I can't create the project and generate code.

The motor I want to profile is a Dualsky XM4240CA-12 (11.1V, 850 kV). It's an ordinary brushless outrunner.

How can I do this?

The hardware and software I'm using are:

Hardware:

    Control Board:Nucleo F302R8

    Power Board: IHM08M1

    Motor: Dualsky XM4240CA-12 (11.1V, 850 kV)

Software:

    MC Workbench 6.2.1

Gael, GMA,

Guys thanks for your help and my apologies for the amount of back and forth.

My problem now is that if I want to use the 6-step algorithm with the IHM08M1 power board then I can't select use the F302R8 Nucleo (it's not in the list to pick from) - but I'll put that in a separate post.

Thanks again for your help!
