Good Day All.
I am working on a ApolloGroup LT-013SF BMS, and this is based on the 02Micro OZ890 chip.
The 02Micro OZ890 chip can have all the BMS parameters viewed or adjusted via the i2c bus.
I have found a copy of the CowBoy software v0.75 for use with 02Micro OZ890 chip.
In the software for the interface setup there is a dropdown box and you can select any of the following.
Disconnected.
Parallel Port + Philips.
Aardvark USB.
O2 USB.
I have done a little bit of digging around with regards to this Aardvark USB, it seems that it is based around the FTDI USB to i2c chip.
I happen to have a FTDI UMFT201XB-01, FT201XQ USB to I2C breakout board.
I have tried both the Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers, and direct (D2XX) drivers.
I have also tried using the Aardvark FTDI drivers, that was with the CowBoy software.
But I can't seem to get any kind of com data.
So I am not really sure where to go from here.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
