Hi everyone. Thank you for reading.
I'm trying to develop a energy transfer system using a Raspberry Pi for controling instead of a GX device. Now I want to be able to communicate with my Quattro using the RaspPi. I've read the next document: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Technical-Information-Data-communication-with-Victron-Energy-products_EN.pdf And in the Ve-bus section says:
"All interfacing has to be done via Modbus TCP (preferred), “VE.Bus to CANbus/NMEA2000 interface”, or via the MK2/MK3"
When it says Modbus TCP it is refering using a GX device? If that is the case, I only have two options, right? Canbus/NMEA2000 or MK2/MK3 interface. I've made a search for this topic and I've found some post talking about MK2/MK3 interface and I've got some question about it:
Is there any diference between mk2 and mk3 protocol? In the link above, says:
"Note that there is no difference in protocol between the MK2 and MK3 interfaces."
But in this post: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/73902/data-protocol-for-multiplus-invertercharger.html They talk about mk2 and mk3 like they are diferent things. If they are the same, I wonder I can use https://github.com/izak/ib.victron and connect my mk3-usb adapter to my RaspBerry Pi and start the communication.
Also, any recommendation about what I want to do would be appreciate. I am considering install Venus in my Raspberry pi (I have Zero 2w), but I don't know if it will be worth it.
Thank you again.
