BQ34Z100-R2: BQ34Z100EVM Evaluation module and EV2400 adapter

Part Number: BQ34Z100-R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ34Z100EVM, EV2400, BQSTUDIO

I want to try BQ34Z100EVM to test the SOC and SOH accuracy on our 14S7P battery pack.

I want to know it is compulsory to use EV2400 USB adapter for calibration of device  and to use battery gauge software or I can use any I2C to USB adapter?

Can I access I2C pin directly to communicate with any MCU board?

Thanks and regards,
Monica

    Hello Monica,

    In theory it is possible to use any I2C to USB adapter. This requires sending each individual command based on reading and understanding the TRM. A simple step can consist of many commands.

    We recommend that you use EV2400 and bqStudio as it simplifies the process of programming and logging data. It saves a lot of development time and possibility of mistakes. If you have trouble with the gauge, the only way for TI to help is by sharing data collected through bqStudio.
