how can i emulate a bmv700 with input from a votronic smartshunt

Hi

i have a raspi 4 with the large Venus OS image on it and a connected mppt100/30 .

output is a 7inch ips touch panel. This works very well.

Node red is activated and i use this to decode the serial output from a vortronic 400A Shunt so i have now following values in node-red at the moment:

- Voltage from the Board and Starter battery in V

- strength of the electrical current in A

-Battery level of the board battery in %

-size of the Boardbattery in AH

now i would like to send this as input to emulate a bmv7xx to the venus os to show it on the display as a bmv.


has someone a idea , best of would be directly in node-red itself

thanks in advance

hi, yes it works , my way is to take the converted data in node-red and send it to a small driver over tcp. this driver put it on the dbus and it works well . the better way would be to design a direct driver for that , but i have not the time to spend it in this topic

here the code from the node-red function, input is serialconnect , works for the triplecharger from votronic

here a sample of the message for testing:

[170,202,100,5,193,4,99,1,96,0,100,0,132,71,253,54,170,218,0,0,0,0,222,13,94,20,0,0,86,4,2,19,170,250,86,0,10,0,11,3,0,36,0,0,70,208,0,28]



  1. var checksum = 0
  2. var check = false
  3. var signed = 0
  4.  
  5. //ID
  6. //sync begin of the message
  7. if (msg.payload[1]==202){
  8.   
  9. ID = msg.payload[1]
  10. //voltage bordbattery U16
  11. u_bord = msg.payload.readUInt16LE(2)
  12. u_bord_mv = u_bord*10
  13. u_bord_v = u_bord_mv/1000
  14.  
  15. //voltage starterbattery U16
  16. u_start = msg.payload.readUInt16LE(4)
  17. u_start_mv = u_start*10
  18. u_start_v = u_start_mv/1000
  19.  
  20. if (msg.payload[14] >1)
  21. {
  22.   
  23.   signed = 0xFF;
  24. }else
  25. {
  26.   
  27.   signed = 0x00;
  28. }
  29.  
  30. const buf = Buffer.from([msg.payload[12], msg.payload[13], msg.payload[14], signed]);
  31. current = buf.readInt32LE(0)/1000
  32. //fuel of the battery
  33. fuel = msg.payload[10]
  34.  
  35. // fuel in AH
  36. batt_ah = msg.payload.readInt16LE(6)
  37.  
  38. //checksum calculate
  39. for (var i=1;i<15;i++){
  40.   
  41. checksum = checksum ^ msg.payload[i]

  43.

  45. if (checksum == msg.payload[15]){
  46.   
  47. check = true
  48. }
