PICDEM MC LV Demonstration Board Summary The PICDEM MC LV Development Board is a development and evaluation tool that provides designers a quick and cost-effective method to evaluate both sensored and sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor control applications. Users can create embedded motor control applications using Microchips 28-pin, PIC18F microcontrollers and dsPIC30F Digital Signal Controllers. Supported devices are provided in the table below. Two pre-programmed, Flash-based samples are provided in the kit including PIC18F2431 and dsPIC30F3010 devices. The board is also populated with an ICD connector for the MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger and an RS-232 port for external communication, LED indicators, push button switches, speed control potentiometer and motor sensor inputs. Finally, users can develop their application with a simple graphical interface, known as the Motor Control Graphical Features User Interface (MC-GUI). The MC-GUI provides a quick Key features of the PICDEM MC LV Development Kit and easy way for designers to configure and monitor their include: motor system parameters such as motor control type, motor speed, rotational direction, current, voltage and fault Supports PIC18F and dsPIC 28-pin motor control devices status.
