    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    You just need to add a analog switch like TMUX1309, and use 2 io pins and one serial port to control 4 bms. ;-)

    Victron compatible LiFePO4 BMS

    No , ve direct is one way only protocol. You need to run venusOS

    don't use epever inverter (ip-plus series) if you plan to bond neutral to ground.

    Now wait until you get a device with a P leakage drived to GROUND and see what happends the person touching the device and your inverter.

    RS485 between DJB BMS and Growatt

    Yep proprietary , can't talk to growatt or what ever.

    RS485 between DJB BMS and Growatt

    JBD has a proprietary bms protocol can't talk to any inverter. You have to setup your growatt battery configuration manually.

    JK-B2A8S20P BMS gps port fried my USB to ttl converter

    always check documentation before acting. don't do like Andy ;-). yep power pin is VBAT need a dc/dc converter if you ant to power your converter from the BMS. serial pins are 5V ttl on the serial port. don't know for the gps port, you have to ask your vendor.

    custom made battery box for eve LF280K cells

    give yourself a favor, use it ;-) anyway the bms is temporary mount on the plate with 4 disposable screws. you have to mount it with 6 dedicated screws

    custom made battery box for eve LF280K cells

    you need a USB to RS485 adapter not a usb to ethernet adapter

    don't use epever inverter (ip-plus series) if you plan to bond neutral to ground.

    Connecting chassis to ground is a requirement, this is not an issue. I'am talking about connecting AC neutral to ground.

    JK BMS CAN bus comms now possible for inverters that support Goodwe and Pylontech batteries

    great work, esp32 has additionnal , serial port, can you add pylontech rs484 protocol too ;-)

    Victron VenusOS driver for serial connected BMS - JBD / Daly / ANT / JKBMS / Heltec / Renogy / Tian / ECS

    That's really weird ,-) I asked confirmation to the vendor since Iam working on a jk to pylon converter, I wanted to be sure it works with most 8s and 16s jk bms. Are you using the gps port or rs485 port ? With my test bms Iam using 5v ttl, since my host controller is not 5v tolerant.

    Renogy 3000 inverter tripping gfci

    Great, not a epever derivative;-)

    Renogy 3000 inverter tripping gfci

    With this kind of inverter you can't use rccb or gfci.

    Renogy 3000 inverter tripping gfci

    Yep, Reno used to sell rebranded epever device. That why I said if it still is.

    Victron VenusOS driver for serial connected BMS - JBD / Daly / ANT / JKBMS / Heltec / Renogy / Tian / ECS

    The rs485 port on a jkbms is a 5v level ttl serial interface. If you don't have the jkbms rs485 dongle you need a usb serial ttl interface with 5v level support.

    Renogy 3000 inverter tripping gfci

    If this inverter is still a derivative of epever inverter, you can't bound neutral to ground on the ac output. If yes their inverters by design can only work with floating ground.

    Sunsynk 8.8kw and JKBMS

    Sunsync is same as deye, compatible with pylon. You can use a canbus seplos bms, if you want bms communication

    Hello all. New here. I desperately need your help into finding a solution to my situation.

    Are you saying you ordered all this stuff without knowing how to use them ? We don't know what you are trying to achieve, what's your needs.

    Help with PV array configuration & MPPT Charger Size

    you get it right ;-) YOu should respect 3 conditions - as many in series as long as total Voc < 600V. So 11 PV max in serie to be safe. - as many string in parallel as long as Total Isc < 23A|29A , depending of the model. 2 strings Max is fine. - Total W < 4800W|6000W . If you...

    Seplos RS485 inverter Voltronic

    unfortunately BT, seems to just be connected to the display , not sure you can get more than what is on the display maybe, no way to control anything from BT.

    check your cerbox serial number you probably need to add the 100uF/100v capacitor on the power connector if connected to 48v directly.

    Epever Tracer 40a Over Panelling

    you can put as many panel in series as long as Total Voc <= 80V , so you need to know what is your panel Voc. check the sticker.

    Epever Tracer 40a Over Panelling

    Voc is available on your panel sticker , you need it to know how many panel in series, since you must respect total Voc <= 100V @25 C°, better not to go over 80V C° to be safe with this SCC.

    Ac Coupled Inverter and Battery

    there 's no general way to do it, depend on the inverter you going to use. With DEYE inverter you simply connect your grid inverter AC output or micro inverter AC output to the DEYE GEN input and check option "Micro Inv Input " in GEN PORT USE setting. A video won't show anything useful...

    Data communication inverter - bms

    esp32 can also be a great option, you can even build a prototype in python. I'm working on something less complicated. By using a raspberry-compatible card I get more flexibility and options, and run Home Assistant on the same device. Coding in python rather than C. A good python and C code...

    Help me connect AIO to main house panel. ( diagram included )

    One more cheap voltronic clone without any useful wiring documentation ;-) - if you didn't add a battery this device won't survive long. !!!! - this cheap inverters are known for not handling correctly bonding neutral to ground in all situation. On this model you need an extra device...
