Title: Beta Firmware release and read me
Post by: FNG on January 12, 2023, 07:43:32 AM
Beta Release 21_23.01.03.00 Fixes 2 bugs related to a factory restore

1- If you selected Flooded Batteries the unit would not charge as it did not have a Absorb voltage in its memory. A power cycle fixed this or adjusting Absorb fixed this.

2- If you selected anything other than Flooded Batteries the unit would limit to 1.2 amps until it was power cycled.

It has been a while since I updated this or the firmware, Darren has worked on MPPT code a lot lately and we released 25.10.17.00 best served with newer MNGP2 code of 25.10.12.00 or newer

1- Revamped MPPT tracking all around for improved tracking
2- Added ramp rates based on SOC or Voltage to slow the tracking when close to full on Lithium to prevent over shoot
3- Fixed SOC when received from the canbus
4- Fixed a few other quirks behind the curtains

released 25.11.25.00

1- Lots of chanegs to tracking to improve low light
2- Changes to the sweep algorithm for closed loop to help with over shoot on batteries that dont PWM current when full

I moved 26.05.08.00 to beta but I do not recommend updating unless you talk to support@midnitesolar.com first as this is a test firmware for a specific bug and as such is not highly vetted out
