TI F28069M Launchpad with BOOSTXL-DRV8305 inverter: which examples are valid ?

The Motor Control Blockset has some good examples, but only a few are valid for any particular set of hardware.

E.g. I have a TI F28069M Launchpad and a BOOSTXL-DRV8305 driver and I want to run the "mcb_param_est_host_read" example, which is valid for either the combination of the F28069 control card and a DRV8312 driver or the combination of a F28379D control card and a DRV8305 driver. How can I change the example to make it suitable for my particular hardware ?

It would be very helpful if someone would give a list of which properties to change to make any example valid for a particular set of hardware :)

Hi Ronny,

I understand that you want to run the "mcb_param_est_host_read" for any suitable hardware

To make the "mcb_param_est_host_read" example in Motor Control Blockset suitable for your specific hardware combination (TI F28069M Launchpad and BOOSTXL-DRV8305 driver), you need to modify the properties related to the hardware configuration.

Here are the steps to make the necessary changes:

1. Open the "mcb_param_est_host_read" example in MATLAB
2. Identify the properties related to the hardware configuration. These properties define the specific hardware components and their connections. Look for properties that specify the control card and the driver.
3. Modify the control card property:

• Locate the property that defines the control card. It may be named something like "ControlCard".
• Change the value of this property to "F28069M" to match your TI F28069M Launchpad.

1.Modify the driver property:

• Locate the property that defines the driver. It may be named something like "Driver".
• Change the value of this property to "DRV8305" to match your BOOSTXL-DRV8305 driver

2.Save the changes to the example file.

By modifying the control card and driver properties as described above, you can adapt the "mcb_param_est_host_read" example to work with your specific hardware combination.

Remember to consult the documentation and reference materials provided by Motor Control Blockset and your hardware manufacturer for detailed instructions on configuring and adapting examples to your specific hardware setup.

You can also refer to the datasheets and user manuals for your TI F28069M Launchpad and BOOSTXL-DRV8305 driver to ensure accurate parameter settings and hardware compatibility.
