  • Christian DeFeo,

    I Guess I Got a Wrong Launchpad ?? The RoadTEST Page mentions TMS320F28027F i.e. The InstaSPINTm-FOC enabled C2000Tm Piccolo LaunchPad ,

    but I have received the C2000 without the InstaSPINTm-FOC.  To be more particular, The LP has TMS320F28027PTT instead of TMS320F28027FPTT ??

     

    I am not sure about the Booster pack as I haven't looked into that yet Hopefully that's correct !

     

    Regards,

    GurI

    Looking over my kit it is also a F28027 and the boosterpack uses a F28027F, I will check if what I have is compatible or not but this might explain some of the issues we are having. I wonder if everyone got a F28027 instead of an F28027F. Anyways the lack of documentation for the F28027 demo code is not making it any easier. I have put in my review but is neither complete or anywhere close to my standards of acceptable, but with what TI has delivered I'm not sure to much more is possible.

     

    If it is not possible to do much more with this kit I don't expect or really want E14 sending another one as its been so long since this road test was started even if I only received everything a little over 2 months ago. We will see what can be done and report back. Gurinder as for getting the code to compile and run I was given this link http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/171/7776.C2000_5F00_launchpad_5F00_ba… from TI and found it helped with one demo, I still can't get any other demos to run. There is another page that they have pointed me to that may also have some help, I am in the process of going through this too. There may still be a chance to write a decent review about half of the kit at least image here is to trying...

    Hey @Kas Lewis, Sorry for the late Reply,

    I had mentioned in a comment as soon as I received the kit, that the processor on the Launchpad is F28027 rather than F28027F. I got the samples couple of weeks ago but I don't have proper tools to replace a LQFN Package without damaging the original MCU. Further I have recently shifted my room So !! image image
