SOFTWARE SETUP
The DC2515 can be controlled by the DC2026 Linduino One board. The DC2026 is part of the Arduino compatible
Linduino platform that provides example code that will demonstrate how to control the multicell battery stack monitor
ICs. Compared to most Arduino compatible microcontroller boards, the DC2026 offers conveniences such as an iso-
lated USB connection to the PC, built-in SPI MISO line pull-up to properly interface with the battery stack monitor IC
open drain SDO, and an easy ribbon cable connection for SPI communication through the DC2515 14-pin QuikEval™
J4 connector.
Arduino IDE Setup
1. Download then install the Arduino IDE onto the PC. Detailed instructions can be found at www.analog.com/en/
design-center/evaluation-hardware-and-software/linduino.html under the quick start tab.
2. Set the Arduino IDE to open BMS Sketchbooks. From within the Arduino IDE, click on File menu select Preferences .
Then under Sketchbook location: select Browse , and locate the path to the extracted bmsSketchbookBeta.zip file
that was provided by ADI.
3. Close then re-open the Arduino IDE to enable the use of the Sketchbook Location that was previously set.
