Simp BMS

If you clone the repo, open it with VS Code and have PlatformIO installed, it pulls the required libraries and compiles successfully without any modifications. Just tested.

Thank you for quick response, I'll do that

Hi I am having an issue getting my car to charge. I'm using the simp bms v2 and a simp charge. I have an elkon 6.6 charger. I have the charger wired behind contactors.
Please see the current settings on the dashboard. Let me know if you see anything I'm missing.

? post some more info on you issue.

When I plug In the EVSE it indicates ready on the EVSE. Nothing happens, no fan, no charge. I have 12volts at the simp charge, good ground. All connections are secure. I have the proper resister in place as well. I was wondering if any of my parameters need to be adjusted in the photos above

[tom91]

This is not the SimpBMS but Vero-BMS I believe reach out directly to them. https://veroelectric.com/product/vero-bms-v2

Ok thanks

I’m working on a BMW G30 Gear Selector integration project using Teensy 4.0.

Go post in a relevant topic and not randomly in other topics.

I have an Eltek valere charger "eltek PC" I have used it successfully before in normal operation (ev)
Is it possible to charge in ESS mode using the AC present pin?
I want to use it in parallel to an inverter to charge at a higher rate.
thankyou

Using more then one type of charger is not supported.

[bigmotherwhale]

Using more then one type of charger is not supported.

what would be the issue? the inverter is not controlled by simpbms, the eltek pc will be the only charger the simpbms "sees"
thankyou

You did not specify that. Then yes you can just have the SimpBMS configured with Eltek charger in ESS mode it continuedly sends the messages for chargers.

[bigmotherwhale]

sorry
does it turn off and on using the AC present pin like in EV mode?
that would be easier than using a relay to control AC mains to the charger
thanks again.

ESS mode it continuedly sends the messages for chargers.

I think the code may have changed which is why im confused, do i have to put the serial number in manually for eltekPC and then flash it?
There is no longer a message received in 0x350 that is entered into ChargerSerial that i can find in the code or am I mistaken?

[tom91]

I have zero idea what you are on about. It supports the generic Eltek control

[bigmotherwhale]

OutlanderBMSv2.ino
#define EltekPC 7

requires a login on 0x351

byte ChargerSerial[6];

there is no longer any code to take the charger announce from the 0x350 and plug it into ChargerSerial

also can i add to the if statement of ESS mode to use the AC present to enable charging?
like this:

if (millis() - looptime1 > settings.chargerspd) {
looptime1 = millis();
if (settings.ESSmode == 1 && digitalRead(IN3) == HIGH ) {
chargercomms();
} else {
if (bmsstatus == Charge) {
chargercomms();
}

You can do whatever you want to your code.
