STEVAL-ESC001V1 and drone motor Compatibility with MC Workbench 6.4.1

Dear ST Support Team,

I am working with the STEVAL-ESC001V1 evaluation board and a drone motor listed at the following link:
https://www.dys.hk/product/D2826.html RPS for power supply given directly to ESC power pins of 12V and 2A current.

My objective is to run this motor using ST MC Workbench software version 6.4.1. I would like to confirm whether any additional hardware, such as an STM32 development board, is required in order to operate the motor with this setup.

During system configuration in MC Workbench, I created a new project and selected STEVAL-ESC001V1 for the inverter section and Bull Running BR2804-1700KV for the motor section. However, when I later attempted to edit the project, the motor selection options displayed only two types of PMSM motors. Could you please clarify whether MC Workbench supports only PMSM motors? The motor I am using is a BLDC motor, as specified above.

Additionally, I would like to inquire whether an example project for STEVAL-ESC001V1 is available for MC Workbench version 6.4.1. I noticed that such an example is available in version 5.4.8, so I attempted to install that version. However, during installation, I encountered the following error:

“Can't write:
C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\MC_SDK_5.4.8\Middlewares\ST\MotorControl\MotorControl_Configs.xml”

The installer repeatedly attempts to write to the installation directory but fails at this step.

I would appreciate your guidance on these issues.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,
Santhosh.

My recommendation is profile the motor first using MCSDK 6.4.1 profiler, then your motor will be added in the list.

is drone's bldc motors are not for STEVAL-ESC001V1 and which software version is compatible with this esc

I am not sure i understand the question completely but go through the below post may be useful,

Solved: Profile a motor which is not in the Workbench Moto... - STMicroelectronics Community

and the STEVAL-ESC001V1 | Product - STMicroelectronics what i can see from the website is it is for drones

You have to generate the code using MCSDK6.4.1
