OK, I don't fully understand the process of "follow me" other than what I read quite a while back. So I believe the master tells the rest to fall in line and the Whiz bang reports to the master...right?
Q#1. Is it feasible to have a Classic with a Kid in "follow Me ' mode?
Q#1. can the Kid be used to maintain the charge on a bank and the Classic use an Aux. port to turn on/off the AC from the inverter that feeds a Hot Water element? Or Visa Versa
My idea, and I don't know if this is even feasible is to do, came about while thinking about another post that wanted 'system' charge status for a Classic / Kid combo...

I asked this question earlier and believe the answer was no.... :(
thanks MT.
I guess it should not be a surprise. I can't get either one of my kids to follow me anywhere... ::)
like the Irish butler said: "Follow me Sir, I'll be right behind you" :o ::)

I think the intent is to have the Classic and Kid do Follow Me. I will chat with the Engineers on this one.

FWIW, not an absolute yes, yet, but stay tuned. Vic
thanks Vic< I saw that and started wondering. Things they are a changin'.
I'm not exactly positive what is going to happen in the future but I believe that the hardware is follow me capable as designed.
So there is hope - Awesome! It would be great if I can get all of my kids to "follow me" ;D
I'm to the point installing a solar array where I do need the Beta Kid's assistance. I have 2,200 watts on a Classic 200 powering a OB VFX 3524. I used the classic tool and it says they will both fit, but just barely over. A classic 200 can handle 8 new panels and I am counting on the Kid taking up the slack with 2 additional panels. This is one Kid that I hope will follow me. I'll know in a few days.
For anyone wanting a more current answer on this, I just checked with Midnite on this issue this morning and you currently can not have a Kid "Follow Me" with a Classic. There is still plans on making this happen but since I wanted to sync my Classic handling my wind turbine with a solar charge controller I will have to get another Classic.
