• Adding a pin to the main connector

• Adding a pin to the main connector

  An even better solution is to use Blue Sea Systems 7713 or 7718 which operates like a Normally-Open RELAY,  instead of the 7700 which needs a special circuitry to connect.   It appears the 7713/771...

• W500 integration with Victron CCGX via CAN

  The pinouts are different between the W500 Can interface and Victron CAN.   With that corrected, the first W500 shows up on the CCGX CAN device list....  Not seeing the second W500.
