Yes it's not like anybody really got on top of about it but seeing the sad face when you tell people they have to buy a new inverter is priceless in a negative way. And then you can't even say why it happened and how to really ...

Re: Switched ADC BMS


Will try playing with those resistors the next time I open the bike up, thank you for the advice!

Just found there is a software way to do it. Right now the lower two FETs are closed for dissipative balancing. That is via the 2x10R resistors. If the upper two FETs are closed it would skip those ...

Re: checking communication error between esp and STM

Interesting. Are you turning on power to inverter and ESP simultaneously?
I wonder if it times out fetching the serial number or something. Then when changing speed or node id the request is repeated and all is well.

Re: Switched ADC BMS

Now after running 6 modules in my ESS for some weeks with old, high R_int LFP batteries there are some observations:

- it is dead stable, even over multiple power cycles and even with some 2.1 modules in there
- SoC calculation is all over the place. Sometimes it estimates when there's still ...

Re: Tool to manage openinverter via CAN

Was just setting out to do the same thing but just modding the ESP web interface to run locally and use oic as a backend.

How hard would it be to add a "dumpjson" command that outputs the json updated with the recent values? Maybe even likewise for the CAN maps?

Re: Switched ADC BMS

Pretty cool idea. Since balancing only makes sense when there is no current flow there is also no risk of missing an over voltage event.

Can I downgrade the v2.4 BMS version or that is not recommended? Even if I can make it show 47.4% it would not look good on the screen and is not needed.


No way, pre-0.26 has to little dead time and will fry the FETs for sure. You can add a new custom mapping for SoC or change your display ...

On previous version for BMS I was getting 2 digits for SOC. now with the new boards I am getting 3 digits. is that something you changed on the latest code? 0.26R

Yeah that was a sort of recent change to show more resolution.

Re: Switched ADC BMS

Hmm, interesting. How many Ah did you say they are?
You can also try playing with R23 and R28, down to completely bridging them. Then only the 10R (mostly 2 of them on most channels) inline resistors limit the current.

I let my LFP pack sit for one week and it improved from 55 to 20 mV. Those are ...

Re: High voltage LFP storage with Flying ADC BMS

Yeah fair point. The black cables are double insulated but the red one obviously not. Will adjust that.

I had these pre-crimped wires handy but they limit me in length so BMS sits on top for now :)
