# MCPWM BLDC Motor Control with HALL Sensor Example
2021-07-29 09:34:24 -04:00
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

The MCPWM peripheral can generate three pairs of complementary PWMs by the internal dead time submodule, which is suitable for a BLDC motor application. This example demonstrates how to use the MCPWM peripheral to control a BLDC motor in a six-step commutation scheme.
We will change the on/off state of the six MOSFETs in a predefined order when the Hall sensor detects a change of the motor phase, so that the motor can spin in a predefined direction.

## How to Use Example
### Hardware Required
2022-05-28 05:04:38 -04:00
1. A ESP board with MCPWM peripheral supported (e.g. ESP32-S3-Motor-DevKit)
2. A BLDC motor whose commutation table is `6-->4-->5-->1-->3-->2-->6`
3. A three-phase gate driver, for example, the [DRV8302 ](https://www.ti.com.cn/product/zh-cn/DRV8302 )
4. Six N-MOSFETs, for example, the [IRF540NS ](https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/mosfet/12v-300v-n-channel-power-mosfet/irf540ns/ )
5. A USB cable for Power supply and programming

You can change the GPIO number in the [example code ](main/mcpwm_bldc_hall_control_example_main.c ) according to your board. You can define the spin direction in the code as well by the `BLDC_SPIN_DIRECTION_CCW` macro.

### Build and Flash
Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the [Getting Started Guide ](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html ) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example Output
Run the example, you will see the following output log:
```

The BLDC motor will update the speed periodically.
## Troubleshooting
2021-07-29 09:34:24 -04:00
2022-05-28 05:04:38 -04:00
* Make sure your ESP board and H-bridge module have been connected to the same GND panel.
* Check the fault signal polarity, otherwise the motor will not spin if the MCPWM detector treats the normal level as a fault one.
* Don't use the PC USB as the power source of the BLDC motor (see the `VM` in the above connection diagram), it might damage your UAB port.
