TI DK-LM3S-DRV8312 Motor Control Kit
for Stellaris® MCUs

Texas Instruments DK-LM3S-DRV8312 Motor Control Kit for Stellaris® Microcontrollers is a development platform for spinning 3-phase brushless DC and brushless AC motors. The TI DK-LM3S-DRV8312 Motor Control Kit contains a cost-effective Stellaris LM3S818 MCU-based controlCARD module compatible with other TI motor control platforms. In addition to instantly spinning a motor, TI DK-LM3S-DRV8312 Motor Control Kit also demonstrates the InstaSPN BLDC motor control solution's operational advantages with simplified tuning, immediate acceleration adaptation, reliable low-speed operation, and more. The included Crosshairs solution enables users to control and monitor the total solution through an easy-to-use PC application that can be extended for end applications.
