Eddie R got a reaction from Mark in Victron MPPT connected to ICC Software communicationSo I would like to share my recent experience with ICC software and my Mercer inverter/solar system:
I contacted Manie at ICCsoftware.co.za. My ICC software was version 2.8.5,.The new version being 4.1.
I upgraded to the new software and after a few issues and help from Manie at 11pm in the evening, I was up and running.
However, I still had freezing issues on the Pi3.
So I bit the bullet and purchased a new Pi4 from Manie.
Once again, with online assistance from Manie, the installation went smoothly. Touch wood, the problems have been solved - 23hrs no freezing!
I believe the issues were related to the older Pi and perhaps a problematic SD card. I remember the old Pi hitting 75degC + with operating temperature. The new Pi averages around 45 degC.
Yes, a bit of pain having to FORK out $$ for an new ICC version, but worth it if it gives me reliability and consistent system monitoring.
Thank you Manie for the support.

Eddie R got a reaction from Coulomb in Axpert 5kVa Inverter - OverchargingSeems, there is less drama at 51.9V for bulk and 51.8V on float...
