FYI I asked Aolithium for their recommendation for long term storage of their 100Ah 4s 12V batteries in a 2s2P setup where the batteries are unattended for 8 months in temperatures low but mostly above freezing. Leave connected to solar charger or disconnect? - they came back with the...

How to reconcile Will's procedure for battery balancing (ignore voltage in YouTube 12V LiFePO4 Battery Series Configuration 101) with my battery manufacturer's (Aolithium) requirement of matching batteries to less than 50mv before putting in series and also the Aegis 24V charger manufacturer...

I have been able to get softserial working on an ESP32. See below. When I get time I'll get back to V on Steriods and sort out the issues there and update you. Thank you again for all your help. 15:32:20.189 PID= 0XA057 15:32:20.190 FW= 161 15:32:20.190 SER#= HQ23189PW9P 15:32:20.191...

so to recap: compiles without errors (ESP32) serial & telnet wifi gets IP address NTP works (not always - will try different NTP servers) in SERIAL mode console input not responded to - if I replace Console1.read with Serial.readString(); menu system runs but not serialRun - is Console1.read a...

yes switched to time.google.com - it works (but not every time) I meant where in the code would you prefer to see these definitions?

in trying to use telnet - and set #define TERM_IS_TELNET get this Compilation error: TelnetStream.h: No such file or directory using Serial - it doesn't respond to any command.....

much better! thanks the ntp aren't defined - configTime(GMT_OFFSET_SEC, DAYLIGHT_OFFSET_SEC, NTP_SERVER); I can add but perhaps you have a preferred location? the LEDs definitions are commented out in Config.h - I'll put them back in but with my setup have to set all to std - blue one

ah sorry - I'm just use to one monolithic file, didn't realize all the ino files in the directory will be compiled together, let me go work on that

1) I have already downloaded zip files for 8266 and 32. Paste is perhaps not the best word - I'm trying to understand how to add the .ino modules to the main file "ESP8266_Victron_on_Steroids.ino" which is just a comment header. c_setup.ino is clear ie the Arduino required void setup()...

a few follow up questions: 1) let me make sure I have basic structure correct in main .ino file paste a_libs.Vars.ino that has the include statements paste c_Setup.ino ie void setup() paste s_Scheduler.ino ie void setup() paste all the other ino files getting many redefinition compile...

Thanks very much, I'll work through that and come back if I get stuck...

good white TX & black ground - could you please give some guidance on a minimal "Hello World equivalent" data logger - ie just able to handle case V? I can't quite figure out which modules are need - c_setup is clear and config.h - what is needed in void loop() besides menu & serial? thanks...

with 188W of solar showing on Victron - inverter running 88W load and 24W of charging still going into batteries - much much better....

I switched from the Renogy AIO 48V to a 24V configuration because of shading at the site. And replaced Renogy AOP with Victron 100/50 SCC and an off brand Amazon inverter (3000W). For the money it looks promising 8W idle load , not the Victron 2000W idle load of 1.7W but very good and...
