I'm nor sure if I'm making things better or worse, so I'm gonna ask y'all...
I have an Tracer3210AN with a Chins LiFePO4 battery, 100 Watt panel, MT50, and an eLog01 unit (see https://diysolarforum.com/threads/epever-settings-confusion.65149/)
About a month ago, I came to the site and the green led on the eLog was out. I changed the battery, it came on, and within a few moments, it was out again. The MT50 would show "Connecting"...
So, I ordered another eLog, since it is the cheapest part of the system. Installed it, and I thought I was good. I have a new laptop (win 11), installed the USB driver, set it all to 9600 N 8 1 no flow control, and was able to pull the logs off. But, I was NOT able to monitor the system in real time...
And I wanted to check the MPPT config, and I thought I had done that using the same set up and COM port settings - like a pass-through from the eLog - or is my memory faulty? Do I need another cable to go between the MPPT direct to my laptop?
Also, even once I had the new eLog installed, it went dead again, within an hour or so. So, is there another problem I have, in addition to not using the correct cable? I see there is a bluetooth dongle often mentioned - is there a link to a listing for it anywhere?
I did check this thread, but not really a solution with the elog light being off.

Solved: Epever 4210AN not connecting to laptop
Can you upload the files here? It doesn't work for me for my life Go to epever web site find the software download pg chose the correct option for you and down load you will need the right cable for your controller
