The TC118S datasheet specifies a maximum continuous output current of 1.8A and a peak current of 2.5A.
During testing, it operated normally with a geared motor powered by an adjustable power supply at a current limit of 1A.

The open-source BQ series chip debugging tool offers four versions to choose from.
A quick glance suggests it's the first open-source EV2400 tool available online.

Safety Statement:
This project may involve hazardous factors such as high voltage and high temperature. Readers should understand these risks and take appropriate precautions to avoid injury.
Introduction:
The EV2400 is a tool manufactured by Texas Instruments for programming and debugging BQ series devices. The EV2400 is the successor to the EV2300. Compared to the EV2300, the EV2400 has greater compatibility with newer systems and chips.
Counterfeit EV2400s are also available on Taobao and other online marketplaces, but their prices and components are not up to par. Even in 2023, they were still using Type-A connectors, which sparked my idea to create my own EV2400.
Several designs are available in the library:
EV2400 Inexpensive (Figure 3)
EV2400 Affordable [A strange thing on TB uses an F5528 controller; I don't know how the firmware was made] (Figure 4).
Version differences
:
EV2400 Original
, EV2400 Low Cost
, EV2400 Inexpensive,
EV2400 Affordable.
USB isolation
: Yes/No.
I/O protection : Yes /No . TI official update : Yes / No. Unknown MCU: MSP430 , F5529 , F5529, F5529, F5528. Verification status : Yes /No . *In actual use, there is no difference between these different versions. Pin definitions: Official EV2400 pin definitions (Figure 5) OpenEV2400 pin definitions (Figure 6). TI has not publicly released this code in the firmware . However, on CSDN, I found that firmware extracted from the official EV2400 requires UNIFLASH and the ezfet tool for flashing. Unfortunately, if you only make one or two, the cost will be driven up by the ezfet. The MSP430F5529 costs 44 yuan, and auxiliary materials cost 6 yuan, so the cost can be kept under 50 yuan.
