Welcome to the BMS wiki!

This page is a work in progress as there is a lot to be discovered about our BMS.

Getting Started (Needs to be updated)

In the reference folder, there are many documents and some sample code provided by Texas Instruments for various implementations of the bq76pl455A-Q1 chip. Keep in mind that our bms will use passive balancing with the TMS5701224 as there are also examples using active balancing and a different TMS570 mcu. Here is a suggested order to read the reference guides.

1. EVM and GUI Guide: An guide to our EVM and how to use the GUI
2. Passive EVM > Overview: An overview of how the bms will interface with our TMS570
3. Passive EVM > SW Reference and Example Code: The code for interfacing the bms with the TMS570
4. Active BMS_TMS-PL455: Provides a look at the software cycle, however it uses completely different boards and active balancing.
