WonVon shunt to Crestron parser 1.0

Very simple crestron module to interface a WonVon Shunt to your Crestron stuff. I think the audience for this will be very very small. Probably just me lol.... But I thought I'd post it just in case.

As of right now, the 6000XP can't keep track of watt hours like a shunt can. The WonVon shunt works pretty well and I'm able to fairly accurately see many watts are left in the battery bank. Using the WonVon module, I'm able to display the battery voltage, amps charging or discharging, Percentage of charge left, and more. Its so handy to see it on the Touchscreens and mobile app! I rarely use the EG4 app anymore to check status of how the panels are doing.

You will need a RS485 to serial adapter. Certain crestron processors are able to do RS485 . I was unable to get this working and cooked a couple of com ports on the processor. Whoops. Rs485 module works great!

You'll need to make a cable to connect the WonVon to the RS485 adapter. Pinout is on the face of the WonVon unit, B and A lines go to the RS485 adapter. A to T/R+, B to T/R-

This is a very simple module, but good enough for me. I thought maybe one other person might be able to use it :)
