This reference design is ideally suited for the initial steps in thedevelopment of sophisticated motor control applications. Designed torealize brushless DC motor control based on the LPC29xx family thistransparent platform provides rapid access to the peripherals. Based onthis reference platform the developer can easily define his own specificsolution.

The attractively priced board can be connected to a BLDC motor oralternatively a bipolar stepper motor. An outstanding feature is theuser interface visualizing effects of parameter changes and thusproviding full ability to optimize the motor’s behavior. Besides thehardware, delivery includes schematics and application examples runningtogether with Hitex’s LPC2929 on LPC2939 eval board. All examplesinclude the source code and can be modified without effort. In additionto the electrical commutation the BLDC motor example includes a flexiblePID regulator for the control of the motor’s speed or current. 

To program the application into the LPC microcontroller and develop /debug it, we recommend a Tantino for ARM7-9 system.
