MCPWM BLDC Motor Control with HALL Sensor Example

(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

  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
  4. Six N-MOSFETs, for example, the IRF540NS
  5. A USB cable for Power supply and programming

You can change the GPIO number in the example code 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 for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

The BLDC motor will update the speed periodically.

Troubleshooting

  • 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.
