Description

This project embeds the Chargery BMS to a Victron Energy Venus OS device to monitor the battery. The serial driver is coded in Python and grabs the data form the RS232 USB interface every second. Example Images:

Overview ChargeryBMS ChargeryBMS Cells

Requirements

  • Chargery BMS
  • Venus OS device
  • FTDI Adapter FT232RL USB TTL Serial (IMPORTANT: Must be flashed with FT_PROG software to invert tx mode)
  • ...

Installation

  • TBD

Notes

  • Proof-of-Concept style
  • Only the Chargery BMS16T is currently supported. However the sources can very easily be changed to support BMS8T and BMS24T as well.
  • No multiple languages
  • No scripts to resetup the changes automatically on update of Venus OS
  • The devices are "hard-coded" at the qml files, must be adapted (VE.direct devices, etc)
