Axpert invertors

seems this is the non plus model
600w solar vs 1500w solar support

I never did like the proline brand. it just seems, so cheap.

At that price, I would wonder if that's not a cheap chinese knockoff.

not sure hey
users manual exactly same as axpert
fitted it tonight just not the plus version
not that i can afford 1500w of solar pannels
its connected to 300w of solar pannels
thinking of doubling that by summer

It's easy to copy the manual if you can clone the device ;)

My advice, you should have taken the PLUS unit, in future you (have) would want(ed) to add more solar panels but the charge controller will be too limited.

It's all Chinese made.

Lucky for some of you Apple prints 'made in China' on their devices otherwise you'd be thinking it was made in USA.
 
well this unit seems to work good
played with settings switching to solar powered inverter when battery 28.8v and back to mains @ 24.5v .
My 300w solar pannel peaked to 10a when sun poped out behind

@Gnome, or anyone else, can someone please help me with some C# code, to communicate with the Axpert inverter from the Raspberry Pi?

Mine has a USB port, so I tried both the USB port, and the serial port through a USB-to-Serial cable.

SoftDux-Rudi just PM'd me about this. I have some stuff on my github

This is c# code that I've only tested from windows with my older Axpert inverter which only has a serial port. SoftDux-Rudi compiled it on RPI but hasn't had any joy. The CRC generation code is at least there.
https://github.com/scottwday/AxpertTest/blob/master/Program.cs

This is an emulator which responds to messages in the same way as the inverter, handy for testing. Again I've only tested it under windows.

Scott, I PM'd you since I can't get that code to work. Any help would be appreciated

you running usb to device?
could make you a small demo code to read device info in the week

Yes I am running over USB. I can map the USB deviceid in Linux to a "known device", but communications to the inverter seems to get lost somewhere. Even using picocom doesn't work well:


port is : /dev/ttyUSB0
flowcontrol : none
baudrate is : 2400
parity is : none
databits are : 8
escape is : C-a
local echo is : no
noinit is : no
noreset is : no
nolock is : no
send_cmd is : sz -vv
receive_cmd is : rz -vv
imap is :
omap is :
emap is : crcrlf,delbs,

Terminal ready

Judging by that I think it's the Axpert command + <CRC> which I'm stuck with, and the google search results I found doesn't help too much.

Thanx for the offer, what do I owe you?
 
hmm Linux. im programing in windows
you write to it eg "qpigs" + crc
you read back a text string 107 characters long + crc
maybe you can port my sample app in c# to Linux :)
