Guidance on Writing BMS Software with AutoDevKit?

Dear community,

I am exploring the use of AutoDevKit for the battery management of my battery in my project. I watched all videos and read through the manual for the AEK-POW-BMS63EN. However, I am new to this environment and need some help with the following procedure. 

 

  • How to approach writing software for the battery management system (BMS) using AutoDevKit. Is there a step-by-step guide or recommended workflow available?
  • I noticed there is a demo available for this purpose—would you recommend using it as a starting point, or is there a better way to begin?

 

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Camillo

Hi,

Yes, the best is to start using our HW and SW and import an existing project(s) from AutoDevKit.

Because the source code is all visible, you can first run it and then put it in debug mode by setting breakpoints to understand the internal logic.

Only after these steps are completed, you can start defining a new BMS application by creating a new AutoDevKit project and adding the BMS Chain components.

Hello Mr. Vizzini,

thank you very much for your help. Is the SPC58EC – AEK_POW_BMS63EN_SOC_Estimation_Single application for discovery demo a good starting point? Or do you suggest another demo?

 

Best regards,

Camillo
