GUI Tool for EVKT-MP6570

Simulation Tools and GUIs

Hi,
I bought an EVKT-MP6570 evaluation board but can’t find a suitable software to test this board. I spent an hour on the “eMotion Module Virtual Bench” software which could not connect before I realized that I needed an “eMotion Virtual Bench” software dedicated to the MP6570. I even tried “MotionLab” but without success.

Can you help me to find the file “eMotion Virtual Bench.zip” which is described in the user guide of “MP6570 Evaluation Kit (EVKT-MP6570)”.

Thank you.

Hi,

So it looks like the new software is called MotionLAB. Download it here: MotionLAB

Thanks,

Thank you for your response,

I already tried this software but it seems that there is no design file corresponding to my MP6570 eval card. And when I choose any other config file I have a “Communication failed” error message.

Where can I find a proper Design File for my MP6570 ? Or is there any possibility to have access to the old software which could be OK for me.

Regards
Benoit

Since I don’t have any software compatible with EVKT-MP6570 and the RS-485 adapter provided in the kit, I tried to communicate with the board using a µController and an i2c bus. I can read the status of the registers but I am unable to write because the board is configured to communicate in RS-485 and not i2c. I have not found any way to reconfigure the communication to i2c.
I am now completely stuck and I absolutely have to test driving a motor with your product.
How can I go forward?

Cindy,

what’s the solution? We have same issue. We have EVB and user guide, but we can’t find GUI tool to download. It’s strange.
