Hey Ron, Your work at andicelabs.com seems fantastic. Long live Open source :)
Just to be clear about my question, I want to power a battery using the TI battery charger board, BQ24261 and I want to control (program) the charger board using a Beaglebone black. Reading the datasheet of the charging board, I found that, it can be controlled via a GUI, that can be accessed by interfacing the charging board to a PC using a USB-GPIO interface board. In absence of the said board, and with the need to programmatically set the charging voltage for my battery, I plan to use the BBB. Your code in powercape.c is quite exhaustive, I wanted to further know, whether I will need any additional hardware to connect the charging board to BBB, and any other information / source relevant to this topic. - Thanks Chintan Pathak On Monday, September 21, 2015 at 8:26:08 PM UTC+5:30, Ron B. wrote: > > Hi Chintan, > > I don't use I2C to control the charger, but I do use it to talk to the > power monitor and the supervisor.
