Overview

Description

The YROTATE-IT-RX66T is a Renesas motor control reference design based on the Renesas RX66T 32-bit MCU designed to drive up to three 3-phase permanent magnet motors. The kit can manage up to 48V DC motors and up to 5A peak current. It is delivered with a USB cable and an intuitive PC GUI to manage the motor speed, display the vector control parameters, and provide access to an exhaustive list of parameters: motor intrinsic parameters, PI coefficients, etc.
