Update:
I am extremely busy with work but we were able to hit the FAST FORWARD button.
We have teamed up with a UK entity who has provided qualified 6811 slaves. Those should be coming in the mail any day now.
For my efforts here (strictly DIY for my boat... not for my close friends Electric Airplane...) I will be delivering an Arduino based Master which will serve to handle all tasks required. V1 simply exposes and controls the LTC6811 features for immediate use, testing, and evaluation. V2 integrates via CAN to a Contactor Drive, Precharge Drive, Current Sensor, Isolation Measurement, and whatever else you have around that you want to integrate.
I am forwarding the software I developed for BMS V4. It was paid for indirectly by the TTXGP, myself, Jozzer, and a 3rd party (who will remain unnamed...) who still has a $5k outstanding invoice. This software is a 100% working state machine which will take only a few days of fiddling to get moved over to the 6811.
I do not post these things publicly... for fear of the code ending up in someones Senior Project. If someone is building a BMS for School.. YOU NEED TO BLANK PAGE THE WORK YOURSELF!
SO DONT ASK!
I WILL NOT DO YOUR SENIOR PROJECT FOR YOU... EVEN FOR MONEY (tho... eh... er... eh hem... I have done a few in the past
)
Yea... so ... I am on the grind hardcore. When I have some time I will comb back thru this thread and then post results. Anyone who is a contributing member is welcome to share in the loading and enjoy the fruits. My short term goals are to:
* Get a protected lithium starter battery running in all 5 of my cars in a non-ghetto way
* Get our boat running in a protected way
* Keep present and accountable in the BMS domain
Carry on
