Gentlemen,
I am new to HDQ and bq27541 and I
am having problems talking to the bq27541 battery gauge using HDQ(or HDQ16). According the datasheet, all commands are 16-bit and HDQ version used still seem to be 8-bit. Therefore my question is how do I send
16-bit command using 8-bit protocol (for example, reading temperature
requires sending 0x0706 command and results in 16-bit value? Do I send first LSB command byte (with R flag on the 8-th bit), then read 8-bit reply from the gauge and then repeat that for the MSB or should I just shoot 16-bit command and sample for 16-bit reply? Does anyone have code example for reading bq27541-v200 in HDQ mode? I would be thankful for any suggestions/pointers or answers. Cheers, Moe
