Learn how to use TI’s latest sensorless technology for brushless DC motors to control YOUR motor! InstaSPIN-BLDC is a control technique that allows you to spin your motor INSTANTLY, and tune the commutation process so that your motor will be spinning like a top! This video shows how to use your DRV-8312 board under the control of a Piccolo control card to go from “out-of-the-box” to “spinning motor” in under 10 minutes. Each step is clearly explained, starting with how to connect the hardware in the kit to your motor and your PC. Next, the operating modes of the GUI interface are explained using easy to understand terminology. The video concludes with a comprehensive discussion of the advanced starting techniques possible with InstaSPIN-BLDC. This video is a MUST for anyone considering sensorless control of a brushless DC motor!

InstaSPIN-BLDC with the DRV-8312 and 28035 Piccolo
I have done lots of study on motor design, and saw these charts, lots of times, but it was presented in your format so clearly, not only do I have a greater appreciation of BLDC motors, but I also have a greater comprehension of its sensorless counter part, thank you so much for this video, and TI rocks. ,':3
Hi Dave, What a wonderful find. Thank you so much for showing this. I am old school so you have helped me have a better understanding and options for my amazing project.I am only 7 years behind.
I have a question: Did you tell F28035 Piccolo to support InstaSPIN feacture? Because of according to my check at TI, only F2805xF/M, F28027F and F28069F/M support InstaSPIN.
Hello Sir,
I am using the Solar explorer Kit [R5] and I made use of the same procedure as explained in this video everything worked fine till I get the red LED glowing on the Control card, but when i try to open the GUI and connect the device using connect wizard, I am getting the error message as "Unable to connect to the selected target please check whether the target is available and ready to receive connection".
can you please suggest me what can I do to overcome this error.
Thank You
Do you have a video of how to flash a BLDC sensored control on the control card and run the motor using the GUI?
Thanks for the feedback! Check back with us on Facebook and Twitter to learn of upcoming webinars, trainings, etc. about our technology! Also be sure to check out our motor blog at ti.com/motorblog.”
Excellent video! This is the clearest I've seen described how commutation looks and works. I'm mostly interested in AC induction machines but the concepts apply to that as well. Great job!
Great video. You cleared up a bunch of questions I had. Is the example project available yet for your Concerto processor?
