1 Block Diagram

1.1 Introduction

The DRV8818EVM is a complete solution for evaluating the DRV8818 micro-stepping, bipolar stepper

driver. It includes a USB link to provide easy control from a personal computer (PC), a MSP430

microcontroller that interprets serial commands from the PC and generates control signals to the driver

device, and the DRV8818 device with access to all signals for a complete evaluation.

1.2 Power Connectors

The DRV8818EVM uses a combination of terminal blocks and test clips for the application and monitoring

of power. The only power rail that the user must supply is VM for the device’s power stage. VDD for logic

levels is internally generated from the USB connection.

Users must apply VM (8 V to 35 V) according to data sheet recommended parameters.

1.3 Test Stakes

Every pin on the device has been brought out to a test stake. A label on the silkscreen identifies each

signal.

Installing Drivers And Software

1.4 Jumpers

Two styles of jumpers are on the DRV8818EVM: two-pin jumpers and three-pin jumpers.

Users can configure three-pin jumpers independently from other two- or three-pin jumpers. However, two-

pin jumpers must all be closed or left open.

1.4.1 VREF SELECT, JP1

To configure the VREF SELECT jumper: (a) Select an analog voltage derived from VDD through a voltage

divider implemented as a potentiometer R4. (b) Select an analog voltage derived from the MSP430’s

digital-to-analog converter (DAC) channel 0 (DAC0). Set as the following inset shows in (b) if you want to

use the GUI to control the VREF voltage.

1.4.2 DECAY SELECT, JP6

To configure the DECAY SELECT jumper: (a) Select an analog voltage derived from VDD through a

voltage divider implemented as a potentiometer R6. (b) Select an analog voltage derived from the

MSP430’s DAC channel 1 (DAC1). Set as the following inset shows in (b) if you want to use the GUI to

control the DECAY modes.

1.5 Motor Outputs

Users can connect the bipolar stepper motor into the DRV8818EVM in three ways: four-pin header (J2),

four-position terminal block (J3), or test clips. Each connection style offers identical connectivity to the

device’s output terminals. The recommended way, however, is to use the header or terminal block

because the test stakes traces are of low-current handling capability.

2 Installing Drivers And Software

2.1 Installing FTDI USB Driver

Download the DRV8818EVM Software and Development package from the TI Web site in the

DRV8818EVM Evaluation Module product folder. Find and unzip Step 1 - INSTALL_USB_Driver into a

separate folder. See instructions on how to install the FTDI USB driver on a Windows™-based computer

in the FTDI_Drivers_Install_Readme.pdf file.

2.2 Installing DRV8818EVM Windows Application Software

The available download also includes a file named DRV8818EVM_Windows7_Application.zip. Copy the

contents of this folder to any desired folder on the computer. This causes the Settings.ini file to be written

to the desired folder on software exit. This action cannot occur if the application is run within the zip file.

Make sure to first unzip all the contents of the zip file into a folder on your computer.

2.3 Running Windows Application Software

To run the application, double-click the DRV8818EVM.exe application icon found on the same folder into

which the application was extracted. It is also available in the START menu under Texas Instruments Inc.

Windows Application

3 Windows Application

The DRV8818 Windows application is the software counterpart for the DRV8818EVM. This application is

in charge of connecting to the MSP430 microcontroller by an USB connection, which in turn selects the

proper logic state for the DRV8818 control signals.

The design of the graphical user interface (GUI) allows for all of the DRV8818 device’s functionality to be

tested without having to intervene with the hardware, except for the proper configuration of jumpers, when

necessary.

The following illustration shows the DRV8818EVM.exe main screen. It contains menu items to configure

and enable and disable the serial port, frames with GPIO control for the DRV8818 Control Signals,

Stepper Motor control for start and stop and speed, and current and decay control through the MSP430

DACs.

3.1 Connecting the EVM

The GUI auto-detects the port to which the USB has connected on connection of the USB cable between

the EVM and an available port on your PC. This is displayed in the window. Click the Connect button. If

this does not work, possible sources of error are as follows:

• FTDI drivers were not installed properly and the FTDI-USB chip is not recognized. Check for

connection in Control Panel→System→Hardware→Device Manager→Ports for a valid connection.

• Close the GUI, and reopen it to properly identify the open port.

3.2 Initial Configuration

First, go into the File menu. Select File→Configure Parameters, and the following box displays:

Windows Application

Rsense shows the default of 100. If any modifications are made to the EVM, be sure to change these

fields so that current is properly regulated.

3.3 Operating the GUI

Windows Application

3.3.1 Pin Information Control

Control pins appear in RED or GREEN. Click on these pins to change the state of the pin; this shows the

current state. Using the following key, you can see that a RED color indicates that the pin is a logic low,

and a GREEN color indicates it is logic high.

3.3.2 Basic Configuration and Control Buttons

Whereas clicking the individual pins changes the state of the pins, you can also use the control boxes at

the bottom to change the state of the pins.

For example, click on the Full Step radio button in the bottom right corner of the highlighted box. What

happens to the picture on the top?

3.3.3 Current Control and Decay Modes

This set of boxes controls the reference current and the current decay modes once this current threshold

is reached.

•Decay Control: The slider allows you to control the voltage on the DECAY pin. This controls which

mode the device is in when the current is decreasing through the load on the falling edge of the

sinusoidal current. In FULL Step mode, this control does not apply. The table shows the modes as it

corresponds to the voltage applied on the DECAY pin. For example, a voltage less than 0.7 V fixes the

device in a Fast decay mode. A voltage greater than 2 V puts the device in a Slow decay more. A

voltage between 0.7 V and 2 V selects a mixed decay with a ratio of fast decay followed by slow decay

depending on the voltage set between 0.7 V and 2 V. This is easier to see on an oscilloscope capture.

•Current Control: This slider sets the voltage on VREF. The current displays on the screen based on

the following calculation:

Iref = Vref / 8 × Rsense

3.3.4 Motion Control

Constant Speed Mode:

•Starting Speed (PPS): The following discussion defines pulses-per-second or PPS. A pulse is a single

step in the logic table. This is not necessarily a mechanical step. If you change micro-stepping modes,

you must double this for the same speed (in 1/2 step), x4 for 1/4 step, and so on.

•Desired Speed (PPS): This is the final speed that the motor ramps to and holds, otherwise known as

the target speed.

•Acceleration Rate (PPSPS): This is how fast the device ramps from the starting speed to the desired

speed. This is also the deceleration rate once you pause stepping.

•Start Steps Button: Press this button to spin. Press it again to stop, or pause, spinning.

•Update Speed Button: While spinning, you can change the Desired Speed field and nothing will

happen until you click Update Speed.

Indexing Mode:

•# of Steps: In Full Step mode, this is the number of mechanical steps you want to take. For example,

if the motor on your bench has 200 steps in a revolution and you want to move one revolution, you

choose 200 steps. If you are in 1/2 step mode, you need to double this to 400 for a full revolution.

•Steps To Stop: When the number of steps taken achieves this point, the motor starts to decelerate at

the rate given in the Acceleration Rate field.

•Stopping Speed: After the steps in the Steps To Stop field is reached and the motor begins to

decelerate, the motor rotates at this speed (once it is reached) until the value in the # of Steps is

reached.

•Move Steps Button: Click this to begin indexing. Once indexing is complete, you can click it again to

repeat the cycle.
