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
