The STM32 microcontrollers with dedicated motor control peripherals and powerful Cortex™-M3core offer the computing power developers need for 3-phase brushless motor vector control.
For developers of STM32-based motor control applications,the STM32 Motor control starter kit (STM3210B-MCKIT) provides a complete development platform with all the hardware and software required to get applications started on the right foot, and shorten time to market by allowing developers to apply what they learn in the evaluation phase to real-world applications.
The kit comes ready to run a PMSM motor (included) or AC induction motor (accessory). Simply power up the application hardware and you´re ready to explore all the different parameters of the sensorless vector control algorithm.
Then, when you´re ready, modify the demonstration application and use what you have learned to develop your own motor control applications. The Segger J-Link is included in the kit for connection to a host PC via an industry standard 20-pin JTAG connection. When connected to a host PC, the opto-isolation board provides galvanic isolation for the host PC and development tools on the 20-pin industry-standard JTAG connection.
The kit includes PMSM (sensored and sensorless) and AC induction (sensored) motor control libraries to facilitate implementation of the family´s motor control peripherals. The libraries can be built using the free IAR Embedded Workbench (EWARM) Kick Start edition (32K code-size limited), which includes the IAR C/C++ compiler.
