Tool/software:
Motor Studio is the primary GUI to evaluate the MCx family of devices (MCF8315C, MCF8316C, MCT8315, MCT8316, MCF8329A, etc). Its a powerful GUI for both basic and advanced users to enable them spin their BLDC motors effectively with the MCx portfolio.
To get started with the Motor Studio, typically its easier for the user to start from a default configuration depending on their application and take the tuning from there.
This post is intended to provide a basic configuration for different motors so that users can start with a known working configuration.
Attached below are .JSON files which user can input into Motor Studio to start running their motor successfully.
