The DEV1-BMS is the Battery Management System for the RIT-EVT Dirt Electric Vehicle (DEV1). The system is based around the BQ76952 TI battery monitor and protector chip. The firmware for the DEV1-BMS is written for the STM32f302r8 microcontroller that is designed into the DEV1-BMS.
The DEV1-BMS will have the following responsibilities.
- Run safety checks during DEV1 operation
- Facilitate battery charging
- Act as an interface to the on-board BQ76952
- Expose the system over the DEV1 CAN network
For a more detailed description of the requirements, refer to the DEV1-BMS Software Requirements Specification.
For more information on the BMS over all and the software level API, refer to the Read the Docs DEV1-BMS page.
Documentation is handled via Sphinx. To build the documentation, navigate
to the docs/ folder and run make html. You can then open the generated
docs/build/html/index.html.
To generate a PDF of the Software Requirements Specification, run the command
rinoh docs/source/srs.rst --output docs. You can then view the PDF version
of the SRS in docs/srs.pdf. The SRS is identical to the one generated via
make html.
The DEV1-BMS is one component of the larger DEV1 project, you can find related projects in the RIT-EVT Github page. Additionally, the STM32f334 driver code is handled via the EVT-core project.
