3.2 Hardware Setup

The hardware required to run the motor controller is a LAUNCHXL-F280049C LaunchPad development kit, the BOOSTXL-DRV8320RS BoosterPack plug-in module, a Micro-USB cable, and a power supply with a DC output from 8 to 54 V. Follow these steps to start up the BoosterPack plug-in module:

  1. Dock the BoosterPack to the LaunchPad. Site 1 and Site 2 of the LaunchPad are supported by software.
    Note:

    To determine orientation of the BoosterPack ensure that the power and ground pins line up with the LaunchPad.

    Note:

    Depending on which site is used the user needs to ensure that the correct jumpers are populated. Table 3-1 details these configurations.

  2. Connect the three phases from the brushless DC motor to the J5 connector on the BOOSTXL-DRV8320RS BoosterPack plug-in module. Phase A, B, and C are labeled in white silkscreen on the PCB top layer.
  3. Connect the DC power supply to header J1.
    Note:

    Observe the correct polarity of +VM and GND connections on the BOOSTXL-DRV8320RS BoosterPack connection J1

  4. Connect a Micro-USB cable to the LaunchPad development kit and computer.
  5. Turn on the power supply and power up the PCB.
