    JBD BMS Wi-Fi Module

    Do you have the windows version of the source? Also, do you know how I can get the firmware source for the JBD 4s 12 v 120a and 8s 24v 100a and 16s 48v 100a BMS? The reason for asking is that I am in the process of designing a 300 amp 4s 12 v and a 8s 24 v and a 16s 48v LiFePO4 (280 Ah cells)...
