Hi,
I had a call out tonight to check the programming of a Multi and brought the (Linux) laptop with VictronConnect. Many thanks btw for making that available: we're on our way to one less requirement to keep Windows :-)
I could however not use it as VictronConnect wanted to upgrade the firmware of the Multi before it would do anything else. That was a bit inconvenient and also seems to contradict the advise not to upgrade firmware unless you have an issue, want a new feature or need support.
The firmware of this particular Multi was upgraded only last week after installing a new battery bank.
Upgrading would have taken me too long this time of the day, especially since VictronConnect cannot retain all the settings, thus requiring the use of a Windows PC with VE.Configure to retrieve those settings first.
Is there a reason why I can't simply tell VictronConnect to ignore the firmware upgrade (for now)?
thanks,
Jan
