The Classic manual is next on the Hit list. boB and Shelley will be starting on that today. In the interim here is the WBjr manual it has all the info about the Classic and WBjr etc

Thanks, Ryan..  The updated WB jr manual is a big help. Didn't realize it had been updated. Would be nice to flag these manual updates somehow, so we know they exist. Would beat digging through the forum threads for information.  :D

Just did the 1758 update from site labeled 2-5-14  4.20 exe - though the local app and Midnite MNGP report it as 1735 . I didn't do the VMM reset yet though because I remoted the display inside and the power switch is outside so haven't figured out yet how to hold the display buttons down while turning the power on.

This update only took the clock back to 2013 instead of 2000.

I notice the Local Status App Battery volt meter has broken the peg and the needle is off scale and is sitting about 7 oclock .

The MNGP should report build  1758 as the Classic and  1759 as the MNGP itself.

Maybe it didn't get updated properly ?

Build 1735 is from date  1-23-2014  and is not quite up to date.  It works but doesn't have
battery capacity from temperature calculation and also may have another bug that should
rarely show itself.  But it should otherwise work fairly OK.

BTW, to get to the SOC% WB Jr. status and setup screens, from the main status menu,
press the STATUS button three (3) times.

You should see the soft-right key be SETUP and the soft-left key, MORE.

Updated from 1735 to 1758 today.  Updated both MGNP and Classic, and did VMM on restart.  After entering the initial data again, I was presented with Sending Data 4136  502.  I've tried reloading firmware three times with similar results.  I can access the Classic through the Local Status Panel and it shows that it's running 1758.  I can change settings etc, but though it says it's in Bulk MPPT, and there is a voltage input reading, there is no charging going on.  Ideas?

Grrrr.

(Fwiw, I've checked USB cable connections etc.  Earlier updates have happened without a hitch.)

I had the battery capacity from temp window before but just reloaded and updated firmware again and have the MNGP displaying correct 1758 /1759 versions now.

What is the Temperature Window setting under Temperature Compensation do ? It default set to 25 degrees C .

ClassisCrazy..  Check out the WB Jr updated manual Ryan posted above. It answers your question on Temperature compensation for the WB Jr.
