4 GUI Overview

The DRV841xEVM-GUI is design to support the DRV8410EVM, DRV8411EVM, and DRV8411AEVM. Figure 4-1 shows the home page. The GUI variant can either be DRV8410, DRV8411, or DRV8411A depending on the EVM connected. The EVM will not connect to the GUI if the wrong variant is selected.

Certain widgets in the GUI are not available when motor is disabled for safety purposes. Section "C" is for selecting the motor type connected to the motor output.
