PICDEM™ MC LV Development Board
The PICDEM
MC LV
Development
Board
provides a
cost-effective
method of
evaluating and
developing
Sensored or
Sensorless
Brushless DC
(BLDC) motor control applications. The board supports
Microchip’s 28-pin, PIC18F microcontrollers and
dsPIC30F Digital Signal Controllers. The board is
capable of controlling motors rated up to 48V and
2.2 Amps.
The development board also comes with two
preprogrammed, Flash-based devices for easy
development: the PIC18F2431 device will populate the
28-pin socket and the dsPIC30F3010 will ship in a
separate sample box. Additionally, the board comes
with a free Motor Control Graphical User Interface
(MC-GUI) which can set and modify all motor
parameters. Custom programming and in-circuit
debugging are facilitated with the ICD connector for
Microchip’s MPLAB® ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger,
DV164004.
