Setting Up MCLV2 Development Board
- Mount the PIC32CM MC00 Motor
Control Plug In Module on U9 header
- Place the “External Opamp
Configuration” Matrix board at J4.
- Motor and Hall
Connections:
Motor phase connection for Long Hurst motor are given below:
Phase Connector Description White M1 ( Phase U ) Black M2 ( Phase V ) Red M3 ( Phase W ) Hall connection for long hurst motor are given below:
Hall Connector Description Red +5V Black GND White HA Brown HB Green HC 
- Jumper Settings:
- JP1 - Curr, JP2 - Curr, JP3 - Curr
- In order to use RS232 port for X2CScope Communication JP4 - UART, JP5 - UART
- In order to use USB port for X2CScope Communication JP4 - USB, JP5 - USB
- Power the board with a 24V DC
supply using J2 or BP1-BP2. For additional safety, it is recommended to use
a current limited power supply while testing this software demonstration on
a non-default hardware and motor.
- Complete Setup
Running the Application
- Build and Program the application using its IDE
- Press switch S2 to start the motor
- Vary potentiometer to change the speed of the motor
- Press switch S2 to stop the motor
- Press switch S3 to change the direction of the motor
- Press switch S2 again to start the motor
- Monitor graphs on X2C Scope
Refer to the following tables for switch and LED details:
