Collect data directly from a Controller

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible to collect data directly from a BlueSolar 75|15 MPPT by using a cable and without using the VictronConnect App.

Thanks !

500px-victron-cable-unit-pinout.jpgYes, you can use the serial interface of the Ve.Direct port. The documentation of the Ve.Direct HEX protocol and the Ve.Direct TEXT protocol are on the Victron Website

You need a Ve.Direct to USB cable or a RS232 TTL (5V) to USB adapter, the Victron cable is galvanically isolated and a better choice.
