Unreliable serial communications #1071

Closed jmaunder closed 1 week ago

jmaunder commented 1 month ago

Describe the problem

My system: EasySolar-II GX, 6 x 50 Ah 17s LiFePO4 with JBD (Jiabaida) SP22S003 BMS. BMS communication is BMS UART <> Isolation module ADUM1201 <> Generic USB to TTL module <> USB cable <> USB port on GX card. Communication works OK with JBDtools. BMS modules have Bluetooth as well, but I found this to also be too unreliable, hence I am trying to do the serial connection. Problem: seemingly random intermittent loss of the serial connection, eventually it does not re-connect. Not reliable enough to put it into service. If I leave it long enough, it eventually re-established the connection but this might take more than 15 minutes, which is too long without BMS information for useful control. What I've tried: With USB hub and 2 x batteries, without USB hub and 1 x battery (direct connection). With aggregate-batteries and without it. Log file corresponds to 1 x battery and no USB hub, aggregate-batteries inactive.

Driver version

v1.2.20240401

Venus OS device type

GX Card (integrated in Victron device)

Venus OS version

v3.13

BMS type

Smart BMS (LLT, JBD, Overkill Solar)

Cell count

Connection type

Serial USB adapter to TTL

Config file

[DEFAULT]

; If you want to add custom values/settings, then check the values/settings you want to change in "config.default.ini"
; and insert them below to persist future driver updates.

; Specify one or more BMS types to load else leave empty to try to load all available
; Available BMS:
;     Daly, Ecs, HeltecModbus, HLPdataBMS4S, Jkbms, Lifepower, LltJbd, Renogy, Seplos
; Available BMS, but disabled by default (just enter one or more below and it will be enabled):
;     ANT, MNB, Sinowealth
BMS_TYPE = LltJbd

; Example (remove the semicolon ";" to uncomment and activate the value/setting):
MAX_BATTERY_CHARGE_CURRENT = 50.0
MAX_BATTERY_DISCHARGE_CURRENT = 50.0

; Battery temperature
; Specify how the battery temperature is assembled
; 0 Get mean of temperature sensor 1 to sensor 4
; 1 Get only temperature from temperature sensor 1
; 2 Get only temperature from temperature sensor 2
; 3 Get only temperature from temperature sensor 3
; 4 Get only temperature from temperature sensor 4
TEMP_BATTERY = 1

; Temperature sensor 1 name
TEMP_1_NAME = Pack Temp. 1

; Temperature sensor 2 name

Any other information that may be helpful

The log output above is with the driver seemingly trying and re-trying to connect and failing. serial-battery is promising, but unless I can have reliable BMS communication I cannot use it. Motivated to get it working 100%. Very little dbus, Raspberry Pi, Unix and Python knowledge but I can learn. Some electronics knowledge. Rest of the system working well. Until I have serial-battery working I will rely on Multi charging algorithm and BMS only for protection, not control.

Please read carefully how to provide logs in correct format. Check the documentation or read carefully the instructions when you open an issue.

Thanks for your reply, not sure what I've done wrong? I tried to follow the instructions as best I could. Happy to supply more information, whatever is needed.

When opening an issue:

Please copy and paste any relevant log output here. See here how to get the driver log files. The content will be automatically formatted into code, so no need for backticks. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do not forget to pipe the output through tai64nlocal, if you don't copy the commands from the documentation.

Anyway, your problem seems to be a unreliable USB to TTL adapter, since it disappears from the USB port. You could also check with lbusb, if your adapter is still recognized after a failure.

jmaunder commented 4 weeks ago

I'm not sure it is, I have tried two different USB-TTL adapters and the problem persists. I tried 'lsusb' and the FTDI adapter appears there, so the adapter is present, but the serial-battery is not.
