Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ8050, BQSTUDIO
Hello,
I am working on a charger board issue which can only be created when using batteries that are in the shutdown state (new from factory).
We have found that we can reliably shutdown the batteries (BQ8050 interface) using the BQ software and the EV2400 module to send the value 0x0010 to the 0x00 register of the battery, however, we need to fully automate the process of shutting down the batteries and then waking up the charger board to be able to cycle the system to get the failure to show. Currently we have to move the series of smart batteries back and forth between the charger board and the EV2400 interface to perform this shutdown.
I have tried just sending the 0x00 register the word 0x0010, not sure what I am missing to get this working as expected.
Can you share a workflow/code snip that will allow us to implement this functionality in our scripted routine?
