\"but when you look at the Cerbo with all of its additional IO, relays and buses, it seems a pretty good deal to me.\"to a degree, but if you don\'t need all those extra buses there\'s no real reason to justify it when a Rpi and 7 inch screen are £80 as compared to a Cerbo GX and GX Touch 70 at £325 and £225 respectively. Of course the USB->VE.can cable price means the Rpi solution is more expensive. I don\'t have the time to mess with the Rpi and canbus hats right now. There do appear to be several CANBUS hats available, but I can\'t yet find any info on them working with VE.Can devices let alone third party devices like the ABMS.
If I am not mistaken the Venus is based on the BeagleBone, not sure what the Cerbo version uses.Cerbo GX uses Venus OS - the very same version that\'s on the Rpi. :)
I'm running Venus OS on an RPi4, using the inexpensive Innomaker USB to CAN cable to talk to the REC Active BMS. Works perfectly. Available on Amazon:
