STEVAL-ESC001V1 Motor Pilot connection

[tejas_amp]

I have tried connecting both STLink and UART but Motor Pilot is not getting connected, 

ERROR: No STLink VCP detected

I am using (V1.2.9) and tried using older version but still issue persists. Kindly help.

Is there anyone at ST?

Hello tejas_amp,

Which Firmware are you using ? What is your MCSDK version ? Have you made sure that the MCProtocol was enabled in the project before generating ?

[tejas_amp]

I am using firmware generated through MCWorkbench by going to Inverter section and selecting STEVAL ESC001V1 with "Electronic Speed Controller" enabled.

MCSDK 6.3.0 version

How to ensure that the MCProtocol was enabled in the project before generating ? Where it is available.

I also tried using older 5.x version suggested in doc but it was not even generating code.

Hello,

The MCP is located in the User Interface tab inside the Workbench. Please make sure that you are using the Motor Pilot provided with the Workbench you used to generate the FW. Also, please consider upgrading to MCSDK 6.3.2.

Yes MCP is enabled at 1843200 B/s but still no connecttion is showing in motor pilot

Hello again,

Could you please tell me how you connect the board to your computer ? You can send pictures if you want.

I have connected UART and ST Link connections

Could you tell me what device you use for connecting the ESC001 to the computer ? Also please focus the picture on the connection between the two.

I used "ST Link V2 Programmer For STM8 and STM32" (https://robu.in/product/st-link-v2-programmer-for-stm8-and-stm32/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyYD6gdquigMV3j1ECB2KfiYtEAQYASABEgLi2vD_BwE) for debugging and usb to uart bridge for uart. Connections are same as specified in manual. Even uart is working fine when i am trying to send data through code and output on putty.
