README
README.mdMax17841UartPCB
This is a small printed circuit assembly (PCA) based on the Maxim MAX17841B chip, designed for talking to MAX17843 chip based Battery Management System (BMS) designs.
It provides an SPI interface, operates at +5VDC, and was intended for connection to an Arduino.
See the "datasheets" directory for information about the MAX17841B chip.
