What's happened to my starter battery widget in VRM?

I've been monitoring starter battery voltage in VRM for many months but suddenly it's gone, both as a graph on its own and as part of a custom widget.


I think there was a mandatory firmware upgrade to the BMS this week when I Bluetoothed into it - could that have lost it??

What device are we talking about?

Device? The BMS captured starter voltage, but it's no longer an available parameter to select. That's why I'm thinking the BMS upgrade had something to do with it.

I'm still guessing which BMS you're talking about, which device measures the starter battery voltage and which device sends the voltage to VRM.

I see... well, it's a SmartShunt 500A.

Thanks!

I've solved the problem. The firmware upgrade reset the 'aux' parameter to 'none' rather than leaving it at 'vehicle battery'.

Easy to fix, but a bit annoying it did so in the first place

Check your sync parameters. Others have had a recent update alter them.
