I've been working with the PMSM project associated with AN12374 on a FRDM-KV31F eval board which works with MCAT/Freemaster. I now want to create a new project for a custom board that uses the same mcu (KV31F512) from scratch using the MC libraries and I need to be able to use MCAT to tune the motor control loops. I haven't found any documentation describing what's required for MCAT to work with a custom project. Where can I find out what's needed in the project in order for MCAT to work?
Hi Lance,
MCAT interface communicates with the MCU using UART. It will depend on how are you communicating to the Freemaster interface from your project. Maybe it would be easier if you use the software given as a starting point and modify it according to your custom board needs.
Unfortunately, we have no guide describing procedure when using custom board because this will vary on each design.
If you have any specific question please let me know.
Best regards,
Felipe
