```cpp
// Arduino Code#include <BatteryMonitor.h> // Assuming a BatteryMonitor library is available#define CHARGE_PIN 2 // Pin connected to the charging board's input
#define BATTERY_PIN 3 // Pin connected to the battery pack's voltage monitoring pinBatteryMonitor batteryMonitor(BATTERY_PIN);void setup() {
pinMode(CHARGE_PIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(CHARGE_PIN, HIGH); // Enable charging
}void loop() {
// Monitor battery voltage and charging status
float voltage = batteryMonitor.getVoltage();
bool charging = batteryMonitor.isCharging();if (voltage < 3.8) { // Charge if voltage is below 3.8V
digitalWrite(CHARGE_PIN, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite(CHARGE_PIN, LOW);
}delay(1000);
}
```
In this example, the Arduino board is used to monitor the battery pack's voltage and control the charging process using the `BatteryMonitor` library. The `CHARGE_PIN` is connected to the charging board's input, and when the battery voltage falls below 3.8V, the charging process is enabled.### Example 2: Raspberry Pi with Python ScriptThis example demonstrates how to use the Parallel Charging Board with a Raspberry Pi to charge multiple battery packs using a Python script.
```python
# Python Scriptimport RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up GPIO pins
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
CHARGE_PIN = 17
GPIO.setup(CHARGE_PIN, GPIO.OUT)def charge_battery(packs):
# Enable charging for the specified number of packs
GPIO.output(CHARGE_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)# Wait for a safe duration to ensure charging has started
time.sleep(5)# Monitor charging status and voltage levels
# ...# Disable charging when charging is complete
GPIO.output(CHARGE_PIN, GPIO.LOW)# Charge 3 battery packs
charge_battery(3)
```
In this example, the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins are used to control the charging process. The `charge_battery` function enables charging for the specified number of packs, waits for a safe duration to ensure charging has started, and then monitors the charging status and voltage levels.Note: These examples are simplified and assume a basic understanding of electronics and programming. Please ensure proper safety precautions and design considerations when working with Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs and charging systems.Pinouts and ConnectionsThe Parallel Charging Board has the following pinouts and connections:Input: Vin (5V to 30V), GND
Output: 6 channels for battery packs (2S to 6S), each with V+ and V- connections
Status LEDs: Charging indicator, Error indicatorSafety PrecautionsEnsure the charging board is used with a compatible power source and battery packs.
Avoid overcharging or undercharging, as this can cause damage to the battery packs or charging board.
Follow proper safety guidelines when working with Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs and charging systems.
