Posted February 17, 20178 yr Hi All I have tested the application for 160 hours on my Infini and is running stable. I will release the version now. Please make a backup of the old one as the final release key will change to get everybody that still have old version (bugs) up to date. V1.1.3 Final release for version 1 Change Infini 3kw charging amps to Decimals Adding BMV 702 Battery Charge Energy Adding BMV 702 Battery Discharge Energy Changing Pv Watts 1 To MPPT 1 Watts Changing Pv Watts 2 To MPPT Watts Adding cluster info and post to emoncms Remove Solar Watts Add Inverter 1 temperature for cluster Adding Pi Temperature and posting to Emoncms
February 17, 20178 yr Wow, Well done Manie, will do a fresh install tonight via image, and then swopout 1.1.2 with the final version. Thanks for all the hard work. The cheque is in the mail.... Next project......MQTT!!
February 17, 20178 yr @Manie well done. Time to take breather for a few days or at least the weekend. I guess I can just download and copy the file for usb to the ICC folder and all will be well. Or does one have to install the image again.
February 17, 20178 yr @Manie another great app from you. Worked first time with zero problems. Thanks a great deal for all the may late hours. ICC is as solid as Linux. Just works and does what it was intended to do.
February 17, 20178 yr Hi Manie, For those who are not linux/pi fundi's, can you please explain what files need to be backed up. Also, I would assume, there needs to be a restore process. I can only find that the Solar.db file gets updated, but is there any other files that need to be saved and retrieved after rebuild to 1.1.3? I'm planning to do mine tomorrow morning early, in the hope that i lose only a small amount of data. (00:00 to say 06:00). I'm doing a fresh install from image due to MQTT problems mentioned elsewhere.

If there is a bug or something wrong with the app, you can then run the old one that you backed up But i'am sure this version is stable as i dit over 160 hours.
February 18, 20178 yr So this mornings change had to be rolled back. Switched Pi off, inserted new SD Card with fresh image. Boot. Goto PC to VNC into Pi. Nothing. Ping the device. Nothing. Then it dawned....I need to bring the Pi inside and connect to my LAN via cable, then configure Wifi, as my installation is remote from my DB. And the only place I can do this is in the house, using my TV as a screen. Eish. Later. PS. I think I would also need Manie's intervention, as I have paid for the software during the week, so I think a new license key is needed.

February 18, 20178 yr Thanks for your help, Manie, All up and running on version 1.1.3. Changed my Dashboard to use the new Inverter & Pi temps.
March 7, 20178 yr Hi @kg666 hope well, Do email @Manie or find him at: http://iccsoftware.co.za/ Sincerely J
March 8, 20178 yr Hello all! Does it work with a pip4048 with serial connection and pi with usb to serial?Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
March 8, 20178 yr Hi I did one for the pip4048, and was working for one customer. However, i am struggling to get it working for another customer. I am not sure how Linux works on some Usb to Serial devices. @plonkster can maybe give us some tips . I change the div rules the same as the one that is working with the device number but does not seems to work with the one he have
March 8, 20178 yr 6 minutes ago, Manie said: I am not sure how Linux works on some Usb to Serial devices. If it has a driver for it, it simply comes up as a serial device named /dev/ttyUSBx (where x is some number), and you simply open that serial port at the correct baud rate and it just works. Depending on the capabilities of the chip in question, support ranges from simple serial comms to full flow-control. I've never had to go that deep, the stuff I need to talk to is 3-wire TTL serial (no flow control) running up to 115k200 with zero issues. I cannot imagine that the Axpert should be weird about it.
March 8, 20178 yr I help one guy in Australia with his and was working the first time. I tried to help another guy. looked up the serial and change the div rules. Did not want to work. I did not change the code as it should be working as it is working on the one inverter. However they have different serial to USB converters. I am a bit lost with this one.
March 8, 20178 yr Maybe something wrong here. SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7523", SYMLINK+="Inverter"

March 8, 20178 yr No, it has serial connection but I need full image and software for serial, I will transfer the image and overwrite the serial ICC.
