GUI Application www.ti.com
2 GUI Application
Figure 4 shows the DRV8701EVM GUI.
Figure 4. DRV8701EVM GUI
2.1 GUI Composer Runtime
Step 1: Download the latest version of the GUI Composer Runtime.
Register for a TI account if you don’t already have one. Select the appropriate version for your operating
system and following the installation instructions.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:GUI_Composer#GUI_Composer_Downloads
Step 2: Copy the GUI folder (DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X) into the “C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\”
directory.
The DRV8701EVM_GUI folder is found in the DRV8701EVM Software Files zip file (located on the
DRV8701EVM web page).
Note: If you chose a non-default installation directory in Step 1, the top level directory may differ.
You can make a shortcut to the GUI in order to start it from other file locations after this process.
NOTE: Ensure that the GUI “exe” is exactly two levels below the GUI Composer “webapps” folder.
The GUI will not start if this is incorrect. The path should be
C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X\ DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X.exe.

Step 3: Install the FTDI Device Driver.
If the FTDI USB device driver does not automatically install, install it manually. The device driver setup is
found in the DRV8701EVM Software Files zip file provided, under the USB Driver folder. Run “CDM
v2.10.00 WHQL Certfified.exe” and follow the installation instructions.
Step 4: Run the GUI by starting the DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X.exe file within the
DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X folder from the “C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\” directory.
2.2 Hardware Setup
Step 1: Attach the brushed DC motor to the terminal block header (H11). This header is labeled with
OUT1 and OUT2 for each motor wire.
Step 2: Attach the main power supply to the terminal block header (H10). This header is labeled with VM
and GND. The DRV8701EVM supports 5.9- to 45-V supply voltage.
Step 3: Plug the micro-USB cable into the board (supplies the microcontroller power and allows for GUI
communication) and then plug in the micro-USB cable to your computer.
2.3 DRV8701EVM GUI
The DRV8701EVM_GUI is provided with the DRV8701EVM to control a brushed DC motor and
manipulate various settings. The GUI provides functionality for adjusting the speed and direction of the
motor, adjusting the current regulation limit, observing the measured drive current, and monitoring the
device status. The DRV8701EVM_GUI operates on the GUI Composer Runtime which must be
installed prior to use (see Section 2.1).
Step 1: Attach the brushed DC motor, plug in the micro-USB cable, and enable your motor power supply
(see Section 2.2).
Step 2: Run the DRV8701EVM_GUI (DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X.exe). The executable is found at
C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps\DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X\ DRV8701EVM_GUIvX.X.exe. The top level
directory may be different, depending on your install settings.

Step 3: The GUI now opens and attempts to connect to the MSP430G2553. This may take a few minutes.
If the application appears to freeze, close and then restart the GUI. Red X’s appear while the GUI is trying
to connect to the MCU (Figure 5).
