Well with a couple minor changes the full blown battery meter code with Aux functions based on SOC% is going into production today. The firmware can be found here http://www.midnitesolar.com/firmwareReport.php?firmware_ID=3&firmwareProduct_ID=1&act=edit

Because of all the Aux changes and SOC stuff a Factory Restore or "VMM" is recommended. I would not say it is mandatory but please check on custom settings Like Aux modes and set points etc after the install to verify they did not change if you do not do a VMM.

OK, I use a custom tcp port (555) and this update will not let me change it. I edit the value click the arrow to save and it acts like it changes but it does not change from 502. Using the Local App. Can't seem to find it in the MNGP menus.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Nevermind. I found it in the comms menu and it seems to have taken it. Not changeable from the Local App at all.

Just FYI.

I will look into the port bug.

Tom I looked into the port thing and the current Local App you have has it in 2 places. One in with the TCP/IP stuff and one below it. Andrew has fixed that now and the new version I have tests fine. Below the network box is a modbus port box that should allow you to change it for now. I will try to get Andrew to release this LA tomorrow

In the Local App:

Config>>>Advanced Way at the bottom of that screen

I never found it on the MNGP screens. It may be Local App only setting?

Maybe you lost the serial number it needs to unlock the settings in the upgrade process?

"unlock code" at bottom of first Config screen. It may have got lost or something?

Yeah, we have had a lot of changes with the addition of the WB Jr and it would be real nice to see an update for the manual.   ;) 

The latest Classic Manual I can find is 1/7/2013
