    Solis inverter comms failure

    😁 I can definitely relate!! I now have two DIY batteries that I'm managing (one is 200 miles away, the other a 30 second walk to the attic)

    Issues installing Solar Assistant on Raspberry Pi

    Any memory of how/where to remove the crippling entries?

    JKBMS Reports Sporadic "Crazy" Voltages on a Couple of Cells....

    Yes, I've been up to the battery on such occasions to check something wasn't amiss, armed with a DVM, and the readings of the cells that had dodgyBT-recorded phantom values, have consistently ended up measuring within a few mV of neighbouring cells' values when read via the DVM, so I know that...

    JKBMS Reports Sporadic "Crazy" Voltages on a Couple of Cells....

    Yes, wired correctly - mis-reporting on my part :)

    JKBMS Reports Sporadic "Crazy" Voltages on a Couple of Cells....

    https://github.com/fl4p/batmon-ha Bluetooth connection from the JKBMS to a Raspberry Pi running Batmon & HA, that's inside the battery enclosure. Batmon then sends the data via MQTT to my main mini PC running HA.

    JKBMS Reports Sporadic "Crazy" Voltages on a Couple of Cells....

    Interestingly not - does make me wonder if it's possibly even a Bluetooth issue (since that datalogged info is being transmitted from the BMS to the Raspberry Pi running Batmon (see my next reply for details) - but then, I don't think you'd ever get a high value being transmitted for more than a...

    JKBMS Reports Sporadic "Crazy" Voltages on a Couple of Cells....

    Brilliantly explained, thanks! I'll carve out some time on an evening to carefully tighten all that can be accordingly!

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    Alrighty - I upped the max charge current to 62A from within config.h, but it's still capped out at around 50/51A for some reason, ever after reflashing.... & I've set the values to 62A for the custom battery setup I'm using with the Solis inverter (3.6kW H 48 blah model). Any ideas what might...

    JKBMS Reports Sporadic "Crazy" Voltages on a Couple of Cells....

    You can see this happening here: ...this has been sporadically happening over the last 7 months, ever since I installed the JKBMS. ...in the background of the screenshot, you can see that things have calmed down, but there are these noisy spikes, and sometimes way-off voltage values, that...

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    Successfully flashed - waited 'til after sunset to minimise any impact (lots of cooking done here via the battery today!)

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    Fab - thanks SeaGal; found it here (running Linux): /tmp/arduino-sketch-1ED67AF5FD866C6B3CE6ED8D1F47F250/vedirect.ino.bin ...interestingly, there's another file called: /tmp/arduino-sketch-1ED67AF5FD866C6B3CE6ED8D1F47F250/vedirect.ino.partitions.bin (but I'll use the first one to do the OTA...

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    Just a quickie @sijones2010 - re wifi/OTA updates; is the .elf file that's the compiled binary output? (Still using the Arduino IDE here atm, so I get an output something like: vedirect.ino.elf )

    Help us design a rack-mounted system for the UK

    Hmm - I purchased 16 EVE LF280K cells from Fogstar a while back for my dad's DIY battery. Wondering if Fogstar is insterested in offering a DIY kit solutions for the case (not that I need a case as such, but I'm sure the Fogstar solution would be more robust that my DIY jobby!)

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    Any rough ideas on a release timescale? (am needing to reflash my ESP32 probably)

    Help us design a rack-mounted system for the UK

    Looking great - really like the trolley wheels and the screwable feet; well thought through! Seplos or JK BMS (or either!)?
