Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-00120
Hi,
I replaced the 4 buck converter mosfets with T0-220 package, uploaded code using spy-bi-wire, shorted pins 1 and 2 on header J3 to provide 3.3V to MSP430 but my battery is not charging. I am using a 4W solar panel to test that has a Isc current of 220mA, is this too small? I noticed the battery provides power to the TIDA-010042 by supplying 14mA of current. I am seeing gate signals on the mosfets but the buck converter is not adjusting the solar panel voltage to its maximum power point, it remains at 21V. I know the MPP for my panel is 17V
Also, I see in main.c the min battery current can be changed, how does 3 in the code correspond to 0.5A minimum charging current? I need to set the minimum battery charging current to 20mA for testing.
Thanks,
