Hello.
I would like to ask if I can have indications from the bms of the battery (cell low voltage, cell high voltage, temperature, real capacity, remaining capacity) in the cerbo which has GuiMods installed.
Definitely the battery should give me this information via the can bus as details.
If he gives it to me, can I see it in the cerbo?
Provided that the BMS (needs to be compatible) is sending data for lowest cell voltage and highest cell voltage, then they will be displayed in the GX device and regardless of whether GuiMods is installed.
Bms is compatible (BYD LVS20).
With gui mods installed i don't have data from bms.
I think i need to install VeCanSetup to take data, but said that must installed with command line and i try to figure out how i should install it!!!
There is no space to show cell voltages in the battery icons on the flow pages, but as Stefanie says, you should see it in the BMS menu item in Device List.
GuiMods does not make any changes to what is shown in the Device List.
VeCanSetup adds VE.Can/CANbus ports to a GX device. Up to two ports can be used.
Cerbo has both so you can not add any more or change from the built-in ports.
CCGX has one port, so you can add a second with VeCanSetup.
Raspberry PI has no bulit-in CANbus ports so you'll need a USB adapter or CANbus "hat" an will need command line access to run VeCanSetup since you need to select the specific devices you plan to use.
VeCanSetup does not alter data in any way.
You can use the command line command
candump any
to monitor CANbus activity.
