What would you like to do?

• I am new to Microchip and would like to evaluate dsPIC DSCs for my motor control application.
• I have a PICDEM MCLV board (Low Voltage Motor Control) and I would like to evaluate dsPIC DSCs for my next motor control project.
• I want to find the lowest cost tools to evaluate the dsPIC DSC for controlling my motor.
• I use motors in my products. I would like to find a design house with expertise in motor control to help me complete my product design.

I am new to Microchip and would like to use dsPIC DSCs for my motor control application.

Microchip provides you everything you will need to prototype your application including motors, power modules, development boards, debuggers and software. Once you have installed the free MPLAB IDE and free student edition compiler MPLAB C30, just follow the easy directions below and purchase the components at microchipDIRECT.com. You can then begin your design! Remember that all of Microchip’s 16- and 32-bit MCUs and DSCs are supported by Explorer 16 Starter Kit, so you can leverage this investment many times over the years.

I have a PICDEM MCLV board (Low Voltage Motor Control) and I would like to evaluate dsPIC DSCs for my next motor control project..

Follow these steps to evaluate dsPIC DSCs using PICDEM MCLV development board:

1. Order a free sample of dsPIC30F3010-30I/SP or other dsPIC30F device in 28-pin DIP package
2. Download and install the free MPLAB IDE and MPLAB C30 C Compiler (student edition)
3. Connect the MPLAB REAL ICE™ emulator or MPLAB ICD 2 In-circuit debugger.

I want to find the lowest cost tools to evaluate the dsPIC DSC for controlling my motor.

The PICDEM MC LV Development Board provides a cost-effective method ($120.00) of evaluating and developing sensored or sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor control applications. The board supports Microchips 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 PICDEM MC LV Development Board (DM183021) is designed to work with the 24V BLDC Motor (AC300020) and the 24V motor power supply (AC002013) to create a complete 24V BLDC development kit.
