This section describes the steps to
prepare the DRV8351EVM for first motor spin-up. This section assumes the default
jumper positions mentioned above are used.
- Make sure that the isolation
jumpers JP1/JP2/JP3 on the LAUNCHXL-F280049C have been removed.
- Plug the DRV8351EVM onto the lower
position of the LAUNCHXL-F280049C board.
- Connect motor phase connections to
the respective MOTA/MOTB/MOTC inputs on J5, making sure to match A, B, and
C.
- Connect the hall sensor
connections, hall power, and ground to J7. Make sure that Hall A, B, and C are
in the correct order.
- Connect the provided micro-USB
cable to the LAUNCHXL-F280049C.
- Connect PVDD and GND to connector
J4. A low current limit of 300mA on the PVDD supply is recommended for first
power-up to make sure the EVM is connected correctly. If there is no issue upon
power-up, then the current limit can be raised to allow for current based on
your motor specifications.
- Start the GUI per the instructions
below in the software section.
