Hi,
I am having issues driving the STSPIN32G4 Motor controller with a custom PCB i made and am looking for help/Guidance with resolving the issue.
Some background information:
MCSDK Version 6.3.0
Motor Pilot 6.3.0
Custom PCB details:
For our custom PCB we have the STSPIN32G4 and the MOSFETS on 2 different PCB's
The image below shows the schematic for the STSPIN32g4 and the second schematic shows the schematic for the Hbridge
The image below is a picture of my test setup. I have a breakout board connected to ribbon cables to transfer the signals from Board A to Board B.
Details:
I setup the project from STM workbench. I am currently attempting to run in speed mode (I will eventually try and run in position mode as well) and have tested the Generated code on the EVSPIN32G4 Eval board and runs fine. The modifications i made between the EVAL board and custom board are
- Disabled the Push button
- disabled the The temp sensor
- Disabled the Over current protection (This OCP kept being flagged as high, i do not quite understand why, but i have disabled it for now)
Other than that the FW is exactly the same.
The video attached shows how the BLDC reacts to moving in Speed mode at ~1400 RPM As you can see the motor does not move smoothly and vibrates significantly. It also seems to start and stop when moving at slower speeds (under 100 RPM) Additionally ive attached a screenshot below that compares teh current through a phase of the windings on the EVAL board (left) and the custom board (right)
TO explain what tests i performed in the Video, I started by jogging at 1400RPM and then reduced to under 100 RPS. At the slower speed, i noticed that the motor will jerk, move and stop/stutter. Finally in increased teh speed and at about 2500RPM the motor just stopped
In position control the behavior is worse. The motor vibrates more audibly when we click on start position. I then issue it to move to a target position of 100 Rad in 5 seconds, and then tell it to return to position 0 in 5 rads. Below is how the current waveform looks in this move
Expected Behaviour
None of this behaviour is consistent with the EVAL board and we are not able to determine the source of this discrepancy. Our motor driving schematic looks identical to the EVSPIN32G4's schematic
