Microchip AN901 Application Note
The note describes a fully functional, highly flexible software application that uses a dsPIC30F to control sensor‑less brushless DC (BLDC) motors. It targets fan and pump applications and provides adjustable parameters, two start‑up methods, and the ability to restart without stopping the motor.
Hardware requirements, source‑code organization, and user‑interface details are covered, along with instructions for modifying the development board and power module to obtain the necessary feedback signals. The document also lists the peripheral resources used on the dsPIC30F and the steps for programming and debugging with MPLAB tools. This manual is written in Chinese.
