In my continuing regression testing of an existing two-contactor system (Charge Bus and Load Bus) that has been upgraded to FW 2.9.2-2, I have uncovered the following error: I was trying to test t...
Do the Opto lines have enough current capability to directly drive the Tyco EV200AAANA 500 amp contactor when connected in series with it and a 12v source? (observing correct polarity)
@Darryl I only recently upgraded to FW 2.92-2. In the middle of trying to make sense of all the changes to the use of the relays and optos, I noticed once again that the WiFi homepage was re...
I have further info on the error. The underlying BMS messages always use °C. Apparently, the values that are input on the page are always being interpreted as °C regardless of the opt...
While going through and regression testing WiFi FW 1.62-12 after an upgrade, I discovered that the temperature settings on the Settings page cannot be properly set when the option dropdown is set t...
After formatting the SD card and loading the spiffs and updates files onto it, and powering up waiting another 8 hrs, I rebooted and FINALLY got the 1.6.2-12 FW to load on the WiFi module!
@Rick Thanks. Since the non-regular flashing LED seemed to indicate it was doing something, rather than just flashing an error code, I left it alone overnight. After 20 hrs it was still...
I was updating my WiFi module (HW:1.2) from FW 1.5.4 to 1.6.2-12, and, despite being careful I seem to have screwed it up. When the module seemed to be done updating, the WiFi AP came back up...
No specific problem ... yet. I'm considering updating an existing 2-contactor system from 2.6 , and with all the recent changes to the way a 2-contactor system is handled, I want to be sure I can r...
Is it possible to downgrade firmware in the REC Active BMS? That is, can I (re)load an older version of firmware over top of a later version if I'm unhappy with the later version?
My current system design uses a two contactor configuration (separate charge and load buses). I am running with firmware 2.6 on BMS hardware 2.1 . It looks like the recent firmware loads no ...
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: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...
I am using the OEM supplied cable. And, due to the prototype nature of my setup, all cables are short. pristine, and easily inspectable. I am 100% sure that this is NOT a wiring issue, since ...
Thanks Rick, but I'm going to hold off updating and try to find a way to reproduce the problem. This way, when I update, I'll have a way to determine if its been fixed or not.
Rick, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. For completeness, I went thru your list. All connections were clean and tight. The problem persisted. Note that the lugs on the premade...
@Darryl I have just had a similar occurance. I am running a REC Active BMS with a REC WiFi module attached. The system is destined for my sailboat, but is currently prototyped o...
