Description
The Softec motor control starter kit for ST7MC (ST ordering code: ST7MC-KIT/BLDC) is an integrated system designed to provide you with a complete, ready-to-use motor control application for the ST7MC family of microcontrollers. It allows real-time control of three-phase brushless DC and AC motors in all control topologies from a PCbased GUI, or in standalone operation. The control panel software provides an easy-touse interface to configure, start and run the motor, modify parameters and evaluate ST7FMC motor control features, then generate header files for your own motor control application. The kit also comes with the STXF-INDART/USB in-circuit debugger/programmer and STVD7 integrated development environment that allow you to take advantage of the ST7FMC’s on-chip resources for in-circuit programming and in-circuit debugging. For further information about the motor control starter kit, please refer to www.st.com/mcu, or the Softec internet site www.softecmicro.com. For more information about inDART in-circuit debuggers/programmers, please refer to the ST7xxxx-INDART Data Brief.
