Tasks

1. Research and Familiarization

• [ ] Review the provided links to understand the fundamental concepts of motor control with STM32, focusing on PMSM characteristics and configuration.

2. Custom Board File Development

   • Create a custom board file for the STM32 Motor Controller Workbench that includes:
     • [ ] Motor specifications (e.g., voltage, current, and phase resistance).
     • [ ] Sensor setup (if applicable, e.g., encoder or Hall sensors).
     • [ ] PCB layout considerations tailored to the hardware setup.

3. Parameter Mockup

   • Develop a rough mockup of the car's motor parameters. This could include:
     • [ ] Motor model and specifications (e.g., rated power, torque).
     • [ ] Desired performance metrics (e.g., speed, acceleration).
     • [ ] Feedback mechanism (if needed).

4. Code Generation

   • [ ] Use the STM32 Motor Controller Workbench to generate initial code based on the custom board file.
   • [ ] Verify the generated code aligns with the specified parameters and configure it for testing.

5. Testing and Validation

   • [ ] Set up the hardware for initial tests.
   • [ ]Validate motor control behavior based on the generated code.
   • [ ] Document any issues encountered during testing for further refinement.

6. Documentation

   • Create comprehensive documentation detailing:
     • [ ] The development process for the custom board file.
     • [ ] Parameter selections and justifications.
     • [ ] Testing results and troubleshooting steps.

Next Steps

• Start with the research phase to build a solid understanding of motor control principles relevant to your hardware.
• Proceed to create the custom board file and mockup parameters based on the findings from your research.
