Autosstart possible? #190

Open UserChristian opened 8 years ago

I want to use the charger on a robot mower project. The charger self is integrated into the mower and if the batterie is empty the mower is driving back to the base station. Then it would be nice to start the charging process direct after connecting to the power source with the last selected batterie or one stored batterie settings. Is it possible to integrate that feature?

Please also look to that topic: https://github.com/stawel/cheali-charger/issues/144

I would recommend you to implement it yourself, since I running out of spear time. see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/cheali-charger/D3_OvkyY4z8/67key5frbOcJ

If you have any questions just ask - unfortunately it takes me some time to answer. also if you have some pics for your "robot mower project" it would be nice to see them :)

Hi Pavel,

thank you for the code example, it looks not so difficult.

To my project, it is not an self-made robot it’s un upgrade from an normal robot mower battery (NimH) to an LiFePo4 one.

I already implemented an BMS with balancer functionality but the current is only 35mA and that’s to less.

Now I was looking after an cheap balanced charger, but I couldn’t found one with 6 cells and auto start functionality.

But with the custom firmware on an B6 charger I can get it :).

Best regards

Christian

I implemented a fork with auto start support, source files and ready-flash hex firmware on GitHub
