Hello,
Last year I have (almost) successfully built the ardumower and used the machine with a lot of joy.
The leftover issue is that the charging feature is not working correct. As a workaround I have always charged the battery by using the serial monitor and force the program to go to the charge state ("by sending 'a' to simulate in station charging").
Now it's time to have this issue tackled. Behaviour of this issue :
1. No charger connected, battery voltage "bat" is detected properly and is dropping as expected; charge voltage "chg" is detected as 0.0V;
2. When charger is connected, state wil transition to "STAT" and the battery voltage "bat" is detected as 31.2V and the voltgage "chg" 31.3V
Meaning that when the charger is connected, the battery voltage is following the charge voltage and the program thinks that the battery is charged.
The used setup
PCB: v1.3, based on kit Marotronics Q1/2021
Firmware: Azurit v1.0a10
Battery: Ardumower Power Pack 25,2V 5Ah (ASN1286)
I think the D73 needs to be bypassed. Is this issue identified and who can give an advice ?
Thanks you!
