BMS using AEK-POW-BMS63EN

Hi,

New to the community here.

I am new to using this BMS evaluation board AEK-POW-BMS63EN. I want to connect a battery pack to this and an external microcontroller to receive the digital data and do something with it.

So a battery pack as input to this eval board. And the board sends digital data (Hex) to a microcontroller. 

1. Can I use a non-STM microcontroller to connect to this? 

2. Can I connect this to a PC directly or I need an interface?

3. How can I use AutoDevKit Studio for this?

 

Please kindly advise, thank you in advance!

you can use a non-STM microcontroller to interface with this BMS evaluation board as long as the communication protocol matches. This board typically communicates via CAN (Controller Area Network) or UART (depending on the board’s specific configuration).To connect the AEK-POW-BMS63EN board to a PC, you will need an interface adapter because the PC does not natively support CAN communication.

Thanks for you response. Interesting to realize that the AEK-POW-BMS63EN utilizes CAN or UART communication since its manual only mentions about SPI or ISOSPI communication.

I have attached the detailed User manual of this board just to confirm my understanding.

Thanks,
