I'd like to know more about the RDDRONE-BMS772 board. It includes pins for an external temperature sensor, and a thermistor is also included in the accessories. Can this board be used to measure battery temperature? However, the accessories only list a thermistor, not a temperature sensor. If the board can be used to measure temperature, do I need to buy the temperature sensor separately? And where should the temperature sensor be installed?
Hello fan007
Good day!
I'd like to know more about the RDDRONE-BMS772 board.
It includes pins for an external temperature sensor, and a thermistor is also included in the accessories. Can this board be used to measure battery temperature? However, the accessories only list a thermistor, not a temperature sensor. If the board can be used to measure temperature, do I need to buy the temperature sensor separately? And where should the temperature sensor be installed?
In Getting Started with the RDDRONE-BMS772 Reference Design, you can find a chapter that describes everything included in the purchase of this board.
Yes, it includes an external thermistor with a cable, which can function as a temperature sensor. However, you can use another sensor that you consider more reliable. The board does have a dedicated port for connecting this sensor. More detailed information about its connection and use can be found in the documentation available on our website.
Please review: UM11421, RDDRONE-BMS772 reference design - User guide (you need an account with us to access this document)
An optional external temperature sensor can be added onto the RDDRONE-BMS772
board using connector J1. An example of application for this external sensor is used to
monitor the cells temperature inside the battery pack.
I hope this information has helped you, please let me know if you need help with anything else.
Have a great day and best of luck.
