Beginner's Guide to ElectroDacus

Beginner's Guide to ElectroDacus 0.61

Excellent! Includes very necessary documentation on the SBMS0 system.

I am considering using the SBMS0 in my travel trailer. I was getting very frustrated with the very limited documentation on the manufacturer's web site. This "Beginner's Guide" includes much of the information that is missing from the official documentation.
Thank you!

Happy to help, FoxMeister! Thanks for the positive review!
Very useful guide, thank you.
On your 12v system diagram (pg 31) you have the breakers after the DSSR20. Would they not be better before the DSSR20?

Hi Reeb, thanks for the review! I've seen people put breakers both before or after the DSSR20, I guess it depends where you think the risk of a short is greatest in your system, and/or what you want to be able to turn off if you're using the breakers as a disconnect. That particular system was designed by FilterGuy, if you like you can message him and ask him his thought process behind it!
This was fantastic! Super helpful. The 24V diagram at the end is basically exactly what I'm doing, but throwing in direct support for 24V appliances and not connecting to van alternator. I think you may have left out the PV BMS cables on the 24V diagram? Otherwise fantastic, thank you for producing this!

Thanks for the great feedback. The sample circuit diagrams are from FilterGuy's I/O Summary: https://diysolarforum.com/resources/electrodacus-sbms0-i-o-summary-chart.112/ I'm not sure which PV BMS cables you're referring to that are missing, the PV is controlled by EXTIO6 in that diagram. Can you message me with more specifics?
Great work Oberon and Team. I think "Beginners" is misleading. Everyone should read this as the 'explanatory' note to lots of stuff not really covered well in the Manual.
I cant count the no of times I've messed up defaults for IO3/4 Type1/2 .. Loads/Charging !

Thanks very much, Peter! Yes the IO3 & IO4 being set as Type 2 and Type 1 is definitely confusing!
Great resource, prompted the immediate order of a SMBS0 wifi etc from Dacian. I've admired the design and concept for years, your document gives me the information required for many different implementations - thanks.

Thanks JC, I appreciate the review!
I had been looking at Dacian's creations for the last 2 years. Didn't understand much. Now, after reading your paper, I see the light. Thank you v e r y much.
