having connectivity issues with pvkeeper 2.0
running windows 10, growatt spf3000tl lvm
pvkeeper connects well enough to gather the logs, but does not show any real time info, if i try to log in the program goes unresponsive and crashes.
anyone know what the issue is? windows compatibility?

123456 works for me, but my Growatt has the USB-B socket on the bottom and USB-A on my laptop. I did have to download the driver and go through Device Manager after it was plugged in and showing an error to get the driver to take, but then it all fired up and worked just fine.

What I had to do was plug in the USB on both ends, then go into Device Manager and look for the errored device. Once I found that I could point it towards the extracted files via "Browse for drivers" and pointing it at the right directory. Once it installed I opened PVKeeper and it talked with no issues. I made the mistake of trying to install the driver first and it didn't see the device (because I wasn't plugged in) so it wouldn't install the drivers.
