Connectors and Functions
Note: in order to compile a project linked to the STMicroelectronics Motor
Control library, you must have a full version of either the Metrowerks or
Cosmic C compiler. Due to the size of the STMicroelectronics Motor Control
library, and the code size limit of the evaluation versions of these compilers,
any attempt to compile a project linked to the Motor Control library will not
succeed, unless you have the full version of the above compilers.
Note: the following steps illustrate how to use the Metrowerks C compiler to
compile a project based on the STMicroelectronics Motor Control library.
Similar procedures apply for the Cosmic C compiler.

Set up the Motor Control board as explained in the “Installing the
Hardware” section in the “Getting Started for BLDC Motors” chapter.
Get the latest release of the AK-ST7FMC Control Panel system
software from SofTec Microsystems website
(http://www.softecmicro.com), uninstall the previous version and install
the new one.
In the “\Program Files\SofTec Microsystems\AK-ST7FMC\Library”
directory there are various subdirectories, each specific for a
motor/control type (e.g. “BLDC Sensorless”). Each subdirectory
contains a pre-made project specific for that motor/control type. Copy
the appropriate subdirectory (the subdirectory that corresponds to your
motor and control type) into another location. The copied subdirectory
will become your working directory.
Run the AK-ST7FMC Control Panel by selecting Start > Programs >
SofTec Microsystems > AK-ST7FMC > AK-ST7FMC Control Panel.
You will be asked what motor type you are working with. Select the “3
Phase Brushless Permanent Magnet AC or DC Motor
(Trapezoidal)” option and click the “OK” button. The main AK-
ST7FMC Control Panel window will open.
To run a BLDC motor in standalone mode (Closed Loop), you must
choose an optimum sampling time and collect, for each of four critical
