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.
gsgill112 Got my samples from TI today and I will see if switching out the controller allows me to run any of the demos for the 2802F C2000 Launchpad, I'll let you know what happens, if anything happens.
Moreover, I did manage to get an Example Project working with LED's all on, but it so seems that this kit was not intended to be a Launchpad ?? , I mean there isn't any easy way around this damn kit. It tool me 2-3 weeks getting a Simple blink Led Working ?? I wanted to use this kit in my Bluetooth Controlled Mobile Robot Project(technervers.com), but instead I ended up using MSP430 and Even demonstrated it at Makerspace Bangalore. I will do a review once I am settled at my new Room. I don't think it will be as a good review as i did for few kits before due to the fact that I have to learn Loads of stuff before I even get somewhere near being comfortable with this kit .
@Kas Lewis : thanks for the links, I will publish the Blink LED Example using CCS6 on my GitHub Hope that Helps . And thanks again
