New LiFePO4 installation charge parameters

With boB's tragic and untimely passing does anyone know if his work on the lithium code for the Classic is being pursued? Is 3800 the last code in beta?
I have a 150 that has the 0% SOC issue. A VMM did not help and I tried boB's trick to force the SOC to 100% and as he expected it did not work.

I used Bobs lithium firmware for a long time and never had the SOC issue. That is  until I had to do some kind of reset on my system and then all of a sudden the SOC at 0 started.
I have a suggestion if the rest of the firmware works correctly for you, and you don't use SOC to control anything via AUX. You can get a Victron Smart Shunt that will independently display SOC along with voltage and current. The data is available on the Victron app , or there are also ways to bring it directly into other monitoring programs without using the Victron app.
From my perspective, Bob was the main wizard with the Classic firmware and innovations. Since Midnite has new products with  different communication ( canbus ) I doubt there will be any other firmwares produced for the Classic other than the stable version that is on their website now. I went back to the stable firmware , but now that I have a smart shunt in my system, I could consider going back to the lithium firmware since it worked pretty good. Either that or phase out the Classics eventually even though they work well they don't offer the high voltage pv input advantages. But their monitoring capability and open soure github monitoring projects are fantastic and better than the new products .
