I've purchased an HPA169 which came with an EV2300 (3.1m Firmware with no label) and I cannot get it to find the Calibration board (on windows XP)
I've also purchased the EV2400 (firmware unknown as it doesn't report anything) and the HPA 495. I have the latest BQMTester Software from the site, I have the EV2400 support package from TI and I've followed the Advanced BQMTester guide to the letter... I'm now on Win 7 as the EV2400 works with win 7. The EV2400 works fine in talking direct to my BQ20x9x but when I run the StationSetup to configure the calibration board, I get the message:
Detected EV2300 with an old firmware version. Please update to version 3.1k. The LEDs connect to I2C Vout (on EV2300) and ReadyBusyPassFail (on Cal board) have been turned ON to assis in physical identification of this EV2300. LEDs will be tuned off somtime after pressing OK.
I have no idea what's wrong. For starters, it's an EV2400 not 2300 but further to that, there are no LEDs on the EV or the calibration board (excep the power ones to show my PSUs are OK). Even when I look at an EV2300 there's only 1 LED inside and it shows DC power, not I2C.
I have also tried the HPA495 with the EV2300 (versions 3.1m & r) to no avail. Same issue, I cannot communicate with the board and the I2C power isn't even on.
What am I doing wrong? Why does none of this work - they're expensive kits and I can't believe they're this hard to use.
Thanks
