BQ28Z610: I2C broadcast.

Part Number: BQ28Z610

Hi, 

I was trying to get the I2C broadcast working on the BQ28z610, after looking at it for a while I checked the forum and I found a post that said the broadcasting feature has been taken out in version 0.17. On my device I currently using - HW-version 06, FW-version 0017, FW build 0016.

Could you tell me if this is true or not or should I be able to get this to work.

I've probed the I2C bus, and changed the address settings and broadcast interval time and also BCAST bit is on as well as GAUGE_EN and nothing happens. 

regards,

Reuben

  • Hi Reuben,

    You're absolutely correct - BCAST functionality has been removed from v 0.17 of the firmware. Please use the v0.20 of the firmware, which includes BCAST functionality.

    The v0.20 of the firmware is not yet on the website, but should be available soon.

    Sincerely,
    Bryan Kahler
