Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ27510, EV2400,
Hi there
My name is Patrick and I am currently trying to perform a learning cycle on dual NCR18650B parallel battery pack using BQstudio. I have my EV2400 hooked up, and my BQ27510 EVM all ready to go with load and charger connected. I looked up the CHEM ID for Panasonic NCF1850B (ID#2012). IT comes up as a Nichol Cadmium cell, which isn't right, as my panasonic batteries are NCR18650B Lithium Ion cells, but at this point I'm just trying to wiggle my toes with this software, so I stayed with ID#2012. The main problem is that nothing seems to match the learning cycle instruction video that TI provides:
https://training.ti.com/how-perform-successful-learning-cycle-gauges
My register map is severely limited when compared to the map in the video.
Also, I can't select GAUGE_EN, as there is no GAUGE_EN command in the prompt.
Without this command, I cannot set QEN to 1, and then reset, which is needed in order to start the learning cycle.
There is also no visible REST bit. I'm stuck, and have no idea how to perform a learning cycle. Everything is connected properly. Enclosed are some pictures. Can you please help me to figure this out? The goal is to make a preliminary golden image for a customer to get started with software, but I'm knee deep in confusion. I can start logging, but considering that almost nothing matches the video above, I don't know what to do.
Most of the values that I'm supposed to enter aren't available either. Most of these subsections don't exist: These are just a few examples. The FC and TC subclasses don't exist. None of the Advanced charge algorithm section voltage cells don't exist either.
Also, under data memory, the advanced charge algorithm button doesn't exist.
I was ready to rock and roll this morning, but nothing seems to match up. I recognize that a different gas gauge was used in the provided video, and that may have something to do with the problems that I'm having, but I'm not able to get anywhere as of right now, and I've been at it for a few hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using a panasonic NCR18650B Lithium ion battery.
Thank you kindly,
Patrick Mitchell
