Support Introduction This quick start guide is provided to assist the user in connecting and using up the RL78G14 motor control starter kit for the first time. The RL78G14 microcontroller flash memory on the board is supplied pre- programmed with the motor control demonstration project. Please check the contents of the kit using the...
Quick Start Guide: RL78G14 Motor Control Starter Kit Stand-alone Demonstration Mode The RL78G14 motor control starter kit is supplied pre-configured with the embedded motor control program and to operate in a stand-alone demonstration mode that does not require the installation of the GUI. To use this mode, all that is required is to connect the demonstration motor and connect the USB cable to your PC to power the board.
1. Connect the USB cable to the board and the PC 2. When the Host PC detects the new hardware, locate the Renesas Virtual UART driver appropriate to the Windows operating system (i.e. 32/64bit OS) and follow the windows installation directions.
Quick Start Guide: RL78G14 Motor Control Starter Kit Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) Demonstration using the GUI The GUI is installed during the installation process. To start the GUI click on the Motor Control Demonstration ICON in the start menu.

Property Monitor window is saved at each update of the GUI as a new entry in the excel file. System Status The system state can be monitored using the “System Monitor” window. This shows an overview of the RL78G14 internal configuration, the results of the internal self tests and the indication of the motor alarm function. Algorithm Selection The algorithm selection shows the available options together with the board jumper settings for each selection.
The RL78/G14 can be programmed in two ways 1. Using the Renesas Flash Programmer and the E1 module (Not included in this kit). It is generally not required to change the jumper settings on the YRMCKITRL78G14 board when using the E1 programmer.
Quick Start Guide: RL78G14 Motor Control Starter Kit RL78/G14 Debugging As part of the installation process the IAR Embedded Workbench (Kick Start version) is installed. This allows some additional development and testing of the motor control operation Code development for the RL78/G14 can be made and debugged in two ways 1.
The software tools provided are Evaluation versions and may have limitations that are described in the documentation. To purchase fully functional versions, please contact your usual Renesas supplier. Support...
