The InstaSPIN™-FOC enabled C2000™ Piccolo LaunchPad is an inexpensive evaluation platform designed to help you leap right into the world of sensorless motor control using the InstaSPIN-FOC solution. The LaunchPad is based on the Piccolo TMS320F28027F with unique features such as 64KB of on board flash, 8 PWM channels, eCAP, 12bit ADC, I2C, SPI, UART, and InstaSPIN-FOC in on-chip execute only ROM memory. The LaunchPad includes many board hardware features such as an integrated isolated XDS100v2 JTAG emulator for easy programming and debugging, 40 PCB pins for easy access to the pins of the F28027F processor, reset button and programmable button, etc.
For this RoadTest, the C2000 is bundled with the Motor Drive BoosterPack (BOOSTXL-DRV8301).

Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test these particular products.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the products.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
When you order the F28027F Launchpad + DRV8301 Boosterpack there is no motor included but the InstSPIN FOC has a motor identification algorithm which makes it possible to connect almost any three phase motor. You only need to consider the electrical limitations of the Boosterpack.
Thanks looking forward to this review, really hoping it comes with a motor or something to help test the board fully, if not I will have to get one. Still looking forward though.
