No successful connection with VictronConnect yet.
I am on pins 2, 3 and 5 for gound of my DE9 on the laptop.
The green LED is on constantly with a blink about every 5 - 10 s or blinking when I disconnect.
Any ideas welcome.
Cheers
Wait. Have you connected the wires directly from the MPPT to the DE9 on the laptop?
The DE9 is RS232, the MPPT is 5V TTL. You need an RS232 to TTL converter like a MAX232 inbetween! Ideally you'd have a digital isolator too, like a SI8422
Something like this will do:
This is my ghetto cable that I occasionally use:
I will look into USB to TTL then. Just realized that I have no DSUB on my non-XP machines and VictronConnect for XP is really outdated.
MPPT 150/60 up to 250/70 Manual
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
