Brushless 27 Click is a compact add-on board that controls DC brushless motors with any MCU. This board features the TMC6300, a power driver for BLDC/PMSM motors from TRINAMIC. It is a highly efficient low voltage, zero standby driver for 3-phase BLDC/PMSM motors with up to 2A peak current.

We provide a library for the Brushless 27 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Brushless 27 Click driver.
brushless27_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void brushless27_cfg_setup ( brushless27_cfg_t *cfg );
brushless27_init
Initialization function.
err_t brushless27_init ( brushless27_t *ctx, brushless27_cfg_t *cfg );
brushless27_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
err_t brushless27_default_cfg ( brushless27_t *ctx );
brushless27_set_pins
Brushless 27 set pins function.
err_t brushless27_set_pins ( brushless27_t *ctx, uint8_t set_mask, uint8_t clr_mask );
brushless27_set_trap_com_state
Brushless 27 set trapezoidal com state function.
err_t brushless27_set_trap_com_state ( brushless27_t *ctx, uint8_t state );
brushless27_drive_motor
Brushless 27 drive motor function.
err_t brushless27_drive_motor ( brushless27_t *ctx, uint8_t dir, uint8_t speed, uint32_t time_ms );
This example demonstrates the use of the Brushless 27 Click board by driving the motor in both directions at different speeds.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
brushless27_cfg_t brushless27_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
brushless27_cfg_setup( &brushless27_cfg );
BRUSHLESS27_MAP_MIKROBUS( brushless27_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == brushless27_init( &brushless27, &brushless27_cfg ) )

{
log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
for ( ; ; );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Drives the motor in both directions and changes the motor speed approximately every 2 seconds. The driving direction and speed will be displayed on the USB UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
log_printf ( &logger, "\r\n Driving motor clockwise \r\n" );
for ( uint8_t speed = BRUSHLESS27_SPEED_MIN; speed <= BRUSHLESS27_SPEED_MAX; speed += 20 )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Speed gain: %u\r\n", ( uint16_t ) speed );
if ( BRUSHLESS27_OK != brushless27_drive_motor ( &brushless27, BRUSHLESS27_DIR_CW, speed, 2000 ) )
{
log_error ( &logger, " Drive motor " );
}
}
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
log_printf ( &logger, "\r\n Driving motor counter-clockwise \r\n" );
for ( uint8_t speed = BRUSHLESS27_SPEED_MIN; speed <= BRUSHLESS27_SPEED_MAX; speed += 20 )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Speed gain: %u\r\n", ( uint16_t ) speed );
if ( BRUSHLESS27_OK != brushless27_drive_motor ( &brushless27, BRUSHLESS27_DIR_CCW, speed, 2000 ) )
{

}
}

}

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
