[wip] 2022-24 BPS Setup Steps

Step-by-step guide

Safety first

BPS Leader setup guide:

• GitHub: https://github.com/lhr-solar/BPS-LeaderPCB/tree/master

• PCB: https://github.com/lhr-solar/BPS-LeaderPCB/blob/master/BPS-LeaderPCB.PNG

• Connect 12V and GND to J6

  • Open

    
  • Open

    

  • Don't turn the power on until setup is complete

  • A green LED next to the buck converter will indicate that 5V power is connected 

• Connect Amperes to BPS-Leader

  • J8 of Leader connects to Amperes

    • Open

      
    • Open

      

  • J2 of Amperes connects to Leader

    • Open

      
    • Open

      

  • Connect Leader J8 to Amperes J2

    • Open

      

• Connect the Minions to Leader

  • There are three minions but IsoSPI is daisy-chained so only one Minion needs to be connected to the Leader

  • Connect J5 of the Minion to J7 of the Leader

  • Open

    

• Connect nucleo (Flashing and debugging code on an MCU)

  • J5 is the SWD connector

  • Open

    

Battery Voltage tap setup guide

• Check the voltage of the voltage taps

  • We want to ensure that the voltage taps are properly connected

  • Measure the voltage between each connection through a multimeter (should be close to 3.5V)

    • Open

      
      Open

      

  • Ensure that the probes don't touch
