I'm trying to run the MC33771C/MC33772C (Battery Cell Controller) Evaluation GUI with my S32K144EVB-Q100 and FRDM33771CSPEVB (Freedom Board) connected to BATT-14EMULATOR (with 12V 1.5A power supply) - all components are brand new
I start the GUI v5.15, load the SREC from the PackController menu, when I connect it says Connected in green and FW 5.15 in the tooltip.
However, the BMS says Error in red, and occasionally blinks orange saying "Initialization"
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Okay, so I figured it out - I had to press down hard to get the proper connection between the BMS board and the S32K EVB. Problem solved, thank you
Right, I understand that this is how it should behave, those are my exact steps - but for me it doesn't behave like that - so how can I troubleshoot?
I tried FreeMaster 3.2 now too - but the connection wizard doesn't recognize the board (115k, same USB port as used with the Evaluation GUI) - I even rebooted Windows to make sure the Evaluation GUI wasn't hijacking the COM port.
Instead it says "No board detected on any of the specified UART ports"
Also, should I even bother with FreeMaster if I don't have Matlab?
