@Sleeper85 May I ask why ? I thought the explanation in the config file were an improvement.

Yes it is a clarification but also a confusion with the GPIOs for the JK-BMS UART.

In your case, you can only use the Bluetooth version?

Well everything is possible, but right now I have installed the JK BMS RS485 "Converter" and ended it on terminal blocks.

Fact of the matter is, unless I stop the system and start tinking with the battery, I cannot wire it up. I don't really want to go in that section of the cabinet when the battery is live ...

So, for this reason, and since the BLE works reasonable well (although it goes offline 6h approx. every 3 weeks), I didn't bother wiring it up.

Even if the CAN bus adapter you purchased is compatible. This is not the one we recommend using (question of simplicity). In the future packaged version there will be YAML for Atom S3 Lite / Display and ATOMIC CANBus Base (CA-IS3050G) - SKU: A103 is the base used by default. GPIOs 1 and 2 are those reserved for the UART JK-BMS connection. I just don't want to add even more complexity. I hope you understand my decision.
