update since upgrading ... now HW:1.2 SW: 1.5.8 this all worked ok for me in previous releases. After unlocking ... I am trying to use the Manual Communications in the Firmware page ... just...
I use currently the VE-CAN port only, set to 250 kbps. A-BMS->Cerbo->WS500->NMEA2000 to the boat. This works perfect. An bonus with this is sending Engine RPM data and A-BMS status ...
Quote from Trond Arvid Røsvik on August 7, 2022, 2:55 am I tried this, and Cerbo sees the WS500 and ABMS, but the WS500 would not see the ABMS. Are you sure your WS500 is in Sync Mode?  ...

I have a question - my ws500 is hooked up to my cerbo, I can see it in the device list. Its controlled by the REC BMS using DVCC and seems to work great, the only issue is that I can\'t seem to ...

In my experience all units have to be on 250 Kbps. At 500 Kbps the Cerbo will not \"see\" the WS500. Meaning you also have to use VE-CAN ports, as BMS CAN port is 500 Kbps only. ...
OK - I have upgraded my WS500 to 2.5.0 & my Cerbo GX to 2.90-14 I cant see any Wakespeed info ? I assume it should show up in the Device list. The Bus is working fine between GX, ABMS &am...
Thanks Rick, somehow missed the mention of the configuration mode. I have the crossover cable and the terminators and will install the new shunt to just measure the alt current!
Damian: Having an low \"start balance\" will only make the charging prosess longer. As Rick says, recomended working voltage is up to 3.65V Even if you do reach 3.8V for a few seconds or e...
Damian, Trond makes a very good point here. 3.65 V is the maximum \"working\" voltage, but the maximum safe voltage is usually quite a bit higher. You do not want to perform a hard trip unless...
All, Wakespeed WS500 ver 2.5.0 was released Monday -- but it might take a bit to get posted to the website. For all\'s convenience, I have attached the .dfu file and the companion con...

Thanks all for the Feedback. FYI ... i have 4S8P CALB 100\'s I figured it maybe my REC settings and have since tweaked them. I have posted the current settings for review. I did originally...
To Damian: If your HV relays opens, there is a cell to high in voltage. I agree with the things Trond says in previous post. Also post a screenshot from your cell Voltage levels just befor...

Wakespeed firmware 2.5.0 is being released this week; and has some improvements - but there still might be work needed on the REC side for its requests, as well as refinements how the REC BMS is co...
Thanks for the feedback guys. It is looking more like everyone does indeed have the 1.2 release version boards.
I believe i am experiencing something like this as well.... ? FYI. I have ABMS, wifi, LCD, Balmar XT170, WS500, Cerbo GX, Victron Multi\'s and Victron MPPT x 4 all CAN or VE connected. With t...
I too have just updated from HW:1.0 SW:1.5.1 using the 1.2 files now says HW:1.2 SW: 1.5.8 All looks ok.
He is not active on this forum so email is best tine@rec-bms.com
I see. Do I reach out to Tine directly over the forums or email?
In another post somewhere Tine mentioned that they can custom configure your spare opto output to do that for you for about 25 Euro as I recall. This is not a new feature.
When there is no battery voltage they do a reset every 30 seconds or so. If you need it to stay on you can put 12V across the battery +- wires or put it into \"Config\" mode with a command. You\'...
That makes sense. However I have the Q BMS. My understanding is there is some firmware version that lets me control an external relay and have it turn off when nearing low voltage, before the main ...
That\'s good news and tends to support my comment about you likely having the 1.2HW and the text was just not changed in the original build. You might want to run your electronics off of a separ...
I completed the update using the HW1.2 file and it worked. I can\'t tell that anything is different, but the WiFi module still works and shows the new firmware version. The LCD still is flaky to...
Hi there, Installing my WS500 and a few questions: firstly, while configuring the unit while it\'s not plugged into anything but the USB cable, it works fine for around 30 secs to...
Im interested in this too. I have an ABMS, LCD & Wifi. (bought direct from REC, early) I have just updated to 1.5.1 and it states HW:1.0 - all seems OK. But if it is really HW:1.0 can ...
Thanks Rick, that sounds good to me. I super appreciate how you handle things. My system is currently only on when I am working on it, so I can definitely do without the module for a few days. I...
Hey Peter, Let\'s see how Eran makes out and if needed, we will extend the same offer to you. Thanks for the feedback, Rick
Hi Rick, I’m interested in this topic as I have the Rec WiFi module connected to the REC-BMS Q. The Wifi module shows up in the REC web app as HW: 1.0 and SW: 1.2. I purchased these parts and ...
Eran, From what I understand here is that 1.0 uses different GPIO pins off of the ESP32. This means that if you were to install the update on a 1.0 board it would try to use the wrong pins for ...
Thank you for the reply. I am confused then, how come I have a module that says HW 1.0? I purchased it through Offgrid Software Solutions, nothing was mentioned about it being a prototype. If it...
WiFi HW 1.0 is not upgradable with HW 1.2 and 2.0 since this were only evaluation modules - prototypes. We have changed the HW later for faster production and improved the hardware for better opera...
