Motor Control Starter Kit Inform ation Sheet
The Motor Control Starter Kit is designed to facilitate the development of low-cost motor control
applications using PIC24 microcontrollers and dsPIC33F digital signal controllers. The kit includes
a BLDC motor, a three-phase inverter, an on-board Debugger/Programmer, a user-configurable
switch, a two-channel mTouch™ slider with LED indicators for motor speed display, and a 9V
power supply.
Installing MPLAB® IDE and C Compilers
The MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) should be installed prior to using the
Motor Control Starter Kit. While MPLAB IDE provides the assembler tools for development, most
of the demos and code examples are written in the C language and require a C compiler to be
installed. Microchip’s MPLAB C Compiler seamlessly integrates into MPLAB IDE. Both the MPLAB
IDE and MPLAB C compiler are free (see the note below) and are available for download at
www.microchip.com/MPLAB and www.microchip.com/compilers, respectively.
Code Examples and More Information
For code examples and more informa tion, please visit http://www.microchip.com/motor. From the
Development Tools menu, click Development and Evaluation Boards and from the list select dsPIC
Motor Control Starter Kit DM330015. Then, from the Download section, select code for the starter
kit. You can also visit http//www.microchip.com/16bit: from the left navigation menu select Find
Development Tools and then choose Motor Control Starter Kit from the list. From the Download
section, select the code for the starter kit.
Running and Debugging Applications
After downloading the code example and installing the development tools, please use the following
procedure to build and run your software:
1. Ensure the BLDC motor is proper ly connected to the Motor Control Starter Kit board and that
the rotor is able to move freely.
2. Connect the 9V power supply to the Motor Control Starter Kit.
3. Connect the USB port on the board to a USB port on the development computer using a USB
cable. This will power up the on-board Deb ugger/Programmer and connect it to the develop-
ment computer.
4. Extract the Motor Control Starter Kit software from the archive file and load the software project
into the development environment.
5. If using MPLAB 8.xx IDE, do the following; otherwise, skip to step 6:
a) Select Programmer > Select Tool and then choose the appropriate tool.
b) Build the project by selecting Project > Build All.
c) Download your code to the DSC or MCU by selecting Programmer > Program.
6. If using the MPLAB X IDE, do the following:
a) Select Run > Set Project Configuration > Customize.
b) Select the required tool under Hardware Tools, and then click Apply followed by OK.
c) Select Run > Run Project to downloa d the code to the target device, and then click the
Reset Release icon.
7. After the code is downloaded to the device, the USB connection can be removed. In Release
mode, only the 9V power supply is needed. In Debug mode, both the 9V power supply and the
USB connection must be used.
8. By pressing the S1 button, the motor will toggle between Run and Stop modes. If the rotor
stops without pressing the button (due to external mechanical factors), it will try to restart on
its own without requiring another button press.
9. Use the Capacitive Touch Slider to change the motor speed. The speed magnitude will be
indicated by the three user LEDs on the board.
Note: S tandard Evaluation (Free) – All optimization levels are enabled for 60 days, but then
revert to optimization level 1 only.
