You have to change the baud rate to 1900 on the comms hub

There is a Firmware coming soon for the comms hub to match the top balancing fimrware. Unfortunately if you are using the comms hub it takes place of the master battery and the top balancing firmware for the batteries will be limited.
I promise you this firmware will be ready in 2 weeks or so the team is working on it.

I'll test the Comm Hub today and see what impact it has when top balancing.

It will be the same as before. Some batteries might not reach 100%

I just updated all four of mine successfully. While doing the update I noticed a 5% difference in the batteries SOC. I sure hope this helps with that. Looks promising so far!

Anyone confirm issue with "Get boot information failed"?
I've tried a lot of different variations trying to find the special sauce.
Was watching the Signature Solar video they say to watch and at 7:37 in the video there is a cut during the boot. Then on the screen after the cut there is the "Get boot information failed" right on the screen above the "Successful Boot" Maybe they should include a reason why theirs failed the time before to help out?

If that doesn’t work check your firmware cable make sure it’s pins 1 and 2 not 7-8

I had the same problem on 4 of my batteries. Kept closing and reopening the bms test till it finally connected. Then once connected just jump to battery after battery till all completed.

One thing I notice is that my com port status is shown as connected and during the boot search it becomes disconnected. I can look at battery status without issue. I'm sure that I bought the cheapest laptop available doesn't help but I was able to do multiple firmware updates to my EG4 6500s

Then you might need CH341 driver for your pc. It’s for the chip in your usb

Same here. Just kept trying until it finally worked. Took 7hours for a 20 minute job. Very frustrating I know.

Why did your tech support not try this with me? I was on the phone over an hour.
