Wow, that is really odd. But I think it might have to do with what I wrote about the fixed current amount it's trying to drive into each resistor to "balance" it. Seems to be oscillating as a result. Thanks for putting it together and testing it. What size resistors did you use?

Yep, that was helpful in charting my course in this projectHave you seen Zack's thread on data from Outback Skybox?
He uses influxDB and it looks like it provides some pretty sweet visuals.Outback Skybox API: on github
I wanted to access my Outback Skybox from a simple python API. I saw a few other people, here and elsewhere, were interested in the same, so finally got around to getting a project going on github. Right now, it can query most of the metrics from the skybox, for example get the current loads, pv...diysolarforum.com
Apologies for the late reply (first post here), but wanted to add $0.02... Agree that microcontrollers can provide no-frills intimacy with the task at hand and the task here is pretty tightly scoped.Agree with you about Raspberry Pi being overkill if it's just communication with BMS needed. Both too much power usage and more prone to failure than microcontroller in my humble estimation.
omg that looks amazing!!!!Here are some updated screenshots of the dashboard as I've refined it. This is working really well
Can one write new ui screens for home assistant?Would be amazing to have that as a panel in Homeassistant.... View attachment 70173
Have you tried out the ones with OLED display attached? They are around $12. I got a couple to try out (ESP32 and ESP8266). Sometimes it's useful to have a local display.Here's the updated version. No more bread boards.
