WIP: add driver for the ST l6470 motor driver

Open samkno1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Contribution description

The driver, l6470, provides support for the l6470 device, a micro-stepping motor driver with motion engine and SPI. The driver developed is designed to support standard SPI and daisy chain SPI communication.

Testing procedure

Attach an ST NUCLEO X-IHM02A1 expansion board to an STM32-NUCLEO 64 board.

Connect 2 stepper motors to the NUCLEO X-IHM02A1 board. Connect the STM32-NUCLEO board to a host computer via USB. Compile and flash the test application.

Note: The SPI pins need to be modified depending on the NUCLEO 64 board used. The NUCLEO 64 F072RB board was used to perform the test with the SCK pin modified to PB3.

On success, the stepper motors will undergo a series of motion commands before finally coming to a stop.

I think a git rebase -i master would help. You can squash your commits while you're at it.
