overview
The purpose of this document is to illustrate the operation of the complete system made up
by a module specific demonstration board (target board), the control board PractiSPIN™,
the SW PractiSPIN™.spmd and a stepper motor. For details concerning PractiSPIN™,
STEVAL-SPMD250V1, STEVAL-SPMD250V2, STEVAL-SPMD150V1 and STEVAL-
SPMD150V2, please refer to the specific application notes.
To be operated the target board needs two supply voltages and a stepper motor connected
to the proper connectors.
Through the control board and friendly user interface the PractiSPIN™.spmd system
supports the following measurements and demonstrations:
●
to drive the module with normal or half step sequence
●
to select the current recirculation mode
–
slow decay
–
fast decay
●
to change the motor rotation
–
forward
–
reverse
●
to fix the acceleration and deceleration ramp and the running speed
●
to differentiate the motor current during the ramp
–
normal working mode
–
steady state mode
A sequence of moving and waiting times can be fixed and repeated indefinitely.
Note:
For a detailed description of the control boards please refer to the PractiSPIN™ application
note.
