BQ28Z610: Fuel gauge C/C++/Arduino drivers?

TheSassy Indian
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: BQ28Z610

Hello E2E community,

We are trying to build a prototype with the BQ28Z610 and an Arduino at our school.

I was wondering whether there were any C/C++/Arduino drivers available for monitoring a 2 cell Lipo?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

TSI

    Hi, 

    Not aware of any Arduino drivers....

    The BQ28Z610, as well as the rest of TI's fuel gauges use typically the I2C or/and SMbus protocol communication. So your device or microcontroller should be capable of either I2C or/and SMBus communication to read/write with the device. The BQ28Z610 specially uses 400kHz I2C Bus communication line. 

    Not too familiar with configuring the Arduino for I2C bus communication but this could help, playground.arduino.cc/.../WireLibraryDetailedReference

    Hope this helps,
