Hi Stuart, I'm ordering parts at the moment, as I'm going to build your BMS for my battery. I noticed the Drain Resistor is noted for 50 Watts it seems...
I think I will go for a 10 Ohms resistor instead, the maximum will be 1.764 Watts so I guess a 10 Watts wirewound resistor like this one [https://fr.farnell.com/multicomp/mcprw0awjw100b00/wirewound-resistor-10-ohm-10w/dp/1737549](https://fr.farnell.com/multicomp/mcprw0awjw100b00/wirewound-resistor-10-ohm-10w/dp/1737549) should...
thank you for the infos, I just forked this project and building one now, I'll keep you updated :-)
sourcing parts takes so much time (and it's much less interesting than building or programming)
I don't have an ESP8266 at the moment and I though they were very similar and the code would be very easy to port but I just got into the...
I mentioned J1 but in fact I wanted to mention the REG710-3.3 Maybe I should have ordered smaller capacitors. Anyway I'll try to draw a gerber file and if I...
Did you use the smaller PCB or the standard? I had also troubles with the first two boards I soldered, pin 6 of the REG710 was badly soldered and I...
Soldered the old fashion way this the soldering iron, I don't feel comfortable with the solder paste. Thank you Stuart for the feedback and thank you for this incredible project.
Do you think it is still possible to solder the 0805 sized components with a soldering iron or is the solder paste the only way to go ?
I've seen somewhere a project where a DC/DC converter is used for balancing, I don't remember the website or the name. Having the same capacity on every cell is important...
