Get Started

• For InstaSPIN-FOC
  • Download MotorControl SDK and follow User’s Guides
• For non-InstaSPIN
  • Install Code Composer Studio IDE and C2000Ware.
  • Connect the LaunchPad using the included Micro USB cable to a computer
  • Open a serial terminal program of your choice (Putty, HyperTerm, etc.) and configure it to access the LaunchPad virtual COM port with 115200 Baud, 8-bit data, No parity, and single stop Bit. The COM port number can be found by opening your computer’s Device Manager
  • Ensure that the XDS110's second port is a serial port. Refer to the XDS110 Wiki for the configuration details
• When connected to your computer, the LaunchPad will power up and flash the red and blue LEDs for approximately 3 seconds. After the LEDs complete flashing, the LaunchPad will enter an ADC sample mode
• The terminal will display the latest ADC sample reading based on ADCINA5 (Pin 23 of the BoosterPack header) at a one second interval
  • If the sample is below mid-scale (1.5V/2048) the green LED (LED5) will light
  • If the sample is above mid-scale the red LED (LED4) will light
• Build and load other examples in C2000Ware
• Ask questions on the TI C2000 e2e forum
