INA-230 and EV2300 with Eval kit software?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA230EVM, INA230

We are struggling with the INA-320 register setup. The INA320eval kit comes with a digital I/O board and software.

Is there any chance the EV2300 (we have one) can be used with the INA-320 and the software?

Curious if you have Excel apps that would make register setup easier for customers.

    Hi Barry,

    I am not sure I understand your question. You have an INA230EVM and are having problems with it, or you don't have an EVM? 

    If you have one INA230EVM and having problems with it please send me screenshots of the error or problems you are getting with the GUI. Have you been able to install the INA230 EVM software and EVM hardware together? What are the problems you are facing?

    If you haven't try the EVM yet, this EVM allows you to write and read all registers. 

    The INA230 team do not support the EV2300 device or hardware, I am not sure how that hardware works. To evaluate our device please use the INA230EVM. 

    Let me know how I can further assist you!

    Hi Mayrim,

    No we don't have the EVM - we have the INA320 implemented in our design and are just beginning to code it into the system.

    We have a 1A full scale charging design, 50 mOhm sense resistor.  Our debugger will list registers and associated values.

    We may be looking at the incorrect registers - should be able to pin that down in a day or so.  Curious why the EVM GUI had to be specific to a unique board and couldn't use the pc and simple USB/I2C interface similar to the EV2300...?

    Hi Barry,

    We use unique EVM GUI for each of our devices because we want to highlight the specific features of each of them. With the INA230EVM GUI the user can evaluate the performance of the INA230 under various signal, shunt, and supply conditions. Also, you can write and read all registers and see the progression of the data over time (graphs/plots).

    I use one of those oscilloscopes that have I2C capabilities to verify the device registers when debugging customer issues, hopefully you have one of those in your lab to take a look. I am not sure which processor are you using for the readings, in your board, but any I2C sample code of that processor should work to read the registers.

    Regards,
