Boy do I dislike software troubleshooting. I used update to reload the files with the versions you provided (which are not different) in the order you recommended I try and got the following err...

The files are all the same between the ones I downloaded and put on the SD card and the files provided above.

The first thing I tried was switching browsers from Chrome to Edge. That eliminated the first problem with the menu blackout. The menu blackout problem was solved by repeating the upload process. ...

Just another thought, what browser you are using?  Maybe its browser specific

Strange that both of you are having the same issue, yet many people have had no issue. I did some of the beta testing on this is version and it worked very well. I grabbed a fresh copy from t...

Still does not work correctly after doing a full reset and reconfiguration. When setting the maximum cell voltage and the battery pack amp hours the same erroneous numbers are displayed. Seems like...

Scott, Did you experience the same problems with entering settings?

Hi All . , finally got around to hooking up by batteries, however i have hit a roadblock. i have a Sofar ME-3000SP inverter , this has a CAN connection, problem is that it uses a RJ11 connection...

I just went through the process of updating to HW2.0-1.6.0. I performed the same procedures that Rick suggested less waiting a few hours. Installed the .bin files on the root directory of the SD ca...

Thanks. 3.6A would be pushing it. Probably better to just use a second relay and avoid blowing that little fuse. The alternator is the only charge source not controlled by the CAN bus so usin...

cool, its a 5 amp relay, with a 3.6A slow blow fuse as I recall (fuse is internal replaceable PCB socket mount)

Thinking about this more. Could I use the CHARGE NO wire to provide field voltage in leu of a second relay? I read in this post https://www.offgridsoftwaresolutions.com/ws500-user-forum/topic...

I repeated the download and update procedure. Same problems as shown above. I took the next step to manually install the updated firmware files directly on the SD card: I removed the SD car...

Wonderful, glad to hear.  That is how it is intended to work.  Nice and Simple. -al-  

Thanks @al-thomason The 2.5.0 firmware update using your uploaded DFU file was successful on both of my regulators. I used the windows dos command line setup that I previously used for the 2....

sounds like you still dont have a complete install. Try reinstalling both update bin files. Power down for 20 seconds power back up but do not touch anything else until tomorrow morning

I have seen something like this before and believe it or not the solution seemed to be to leave it powered up for an hour or two, then pull the power for 20 seconds and let it reboot.  Its almost l...

Hello, I was reading this thread on victrons forum and have a couple questions.  It looks like my BMS is currently running firmware v2.7 The linked thread mentions a version 2.8, as well as a \"...

oh good, that sounds easy enough.  Will give it a shot. Thanks for the quick reply!   Update:  That worked! Thanks again!

I have seen something like this before and believe it or not the solution seemed to be to leave it powered up for an hour or two, then pull the power for 20 seconds and let it reboot.  Its almost l...

Today I put together my BMS and battery pack.  The wifi module was on firmware version 1.5.8.  I tried to use the REC-WiFi-module-Firmware-Update-1.6-HW2.0.zip to update my module.  Everything appe...

Hello all, Yes, some teething issues!  Perhaps to be expected, and including the refreshed Wakespeed.com website this past week. As to Firmware and Drivers, I might suggest downloading the Wa...

Yes, since they got purchased by Dragon fly they are having some issues. I have several calls in to my contacts but haven\'t heard back yet.  As soon as I get it I will post it to the forum. ...

Where can I download the latest W500 firmware? Wakespeed instructions say to look at the \"technical\" page on their website.  Did Wakespeed remove access? Also the STM drivers link above doe...

For the record, it is possible to drill and tap the back side of a Victron shunt to accept additional leads. cheers

In my setup, I\'m planning to only have a single solenoid and have it for low voltage disconnect (discharge) as all of my charge sources (less the alternator) are Victron and controlled by DVCC. Th...

You could also use the inverter disconnect opto output with a relay.  This would effectively disable the alternator before a hi limit hard trip occurred by setting CHAR to about 3.6 and CHIS to 3.5...

It sounds easy enough.  Why not just add a paralleling relay off of your BMS contactor coil and put its N/O contacts in series with the ignition input wire to your alternator. BMS trips, ignitio...

I have a 140 amp alternator (internal regulator) servicing my house LFP pack that is managed by a REC Active BMS. The engine start battery (AGM) is isolated from the house pack and is charged by...

You can use the generator start/stop functions associated with relay 1 on the Cerbo to \"gate\" or modify the charge enable signals from the REC BMS (assuming the REC active has charge enable simil...

You can connect the sense wires to the two large M10 terminals. I have done this in my own system, no problems.

Thanks. I didn\'t want to get the data off the network for the reasons you mentioned. I wasn\'t sure if I could just put the sense wires on the big terminals. It makes sense that you could bu...

No, and in my thinking you would not want to have to rely on a network connection to control your battery.  The BMS both performs PID control and has several safety features that rely on the curren...

Is it possible to have the REC Active BMS make use of a Victron Smart Shunt? The Smart Shunt doesn\'t have any provisions for hooking up additional sense wires (not very smart IMO).  

Thanks. I\'ll see if I can break out / export the relevant bits and post them here. Here\'s a screen shot showing basic operations. The Functions not shown sent various alerts to the slack chann...

I like your thinking here.  Use your BMS to provide a single critical function and let your Cerbo provide specialized supervisory control. If you would care to share any of your node-red that wo...

Revision 10-04-2022 which is 99% there.  

While on shore power, I wrote charge control functions in Node Red on the Cerbo GX. At first I tried keeping it between 30% and 60% but I\'ve found it easiest to charge to 100% and run them down...

Thank you again @Goboatingnow for keeping my little project on track!  Much appreciated.

I contributed in a small way to refining the RGleason schematic. one point I feel very excercised on and I see it pop up across many forums HVE and LVE should be configured to be serious safe...
