Title: Updating Firmware
Post by: labusker on February 29, 2020, 09:36:41 AM
I will be setting up my classic 150 soon. Can software be updated through the network cable or do I need to use the usb port?

Hi.   The Classic needs to have its firmware updated through USB at the moment

Yes, that is how it's done.  Let us know of course if you have problems in the update.

is there any monitoring software out there that an iPad can use?

As far as I know, Adobe Air (API) should still work on Apple products and iPads.

If you can install Adobe Air, then you can install the MidNite Solar Local App

The Local App is monitoring software for the Classic charge controllers.

And Control.  And register downloads. (Settings/Configuration) and register uploads.  Way more than simply monitor
