I manated to let a scope probe ground clip touch SW3-1 and it took out Q8. After replacing Q8 I have not been able to "build the LAN" due to the '116 only seeing 0 cells when 7 is expected. So I'm wondering if I have a software problem or a hardware one. Except for not pumping one cell before the Q8 replacement, it all worked. At this point the bqWizard can talk to the EVM, but I have to click the Ignore button when trying to connect. At Commands | Connect to pack, I get "Error reading data: An error has occurred while reading the parameters. The data displayed may not reflect any recent changes." That's where I click Ingore. I also get a pop-up message box that says "LAN not built, reported number of cells does not equal expected number of cells." I see the expected voltages at test points V1 thru V7. The Pack Confuguration tab shows expected number of cells = 7, actual number of cells = 0.
How does the EVM determine how many cells are hooked-up?
Thanks,
Bob
