9 months ago Have you tried adjusting the slave address? I had to change it to get mine to work for some unknown reason. I temporarily changed the code to find the correct slave address:
if __name__ == "__main__":
slaveaddress = 1
while slaveaddress < 256 :
try:
print( 'Trying slaveaddress: ', slaveaddress )
rover = RenogyRover('/dev/ttyUSB0', slaveaddress)
print('Model: ', rover.model())
print('Battery %: ', rover.battery_percentage())
print('Battery Type: ', rover.battery_type())
print('Battery Capacity: ', rover.battery_capacity())
print('Battery Voltage: ', rover.battery_voltage())
battery_temp = rover.battery_temperature()
print('Battery Temperature: ', battery_temp, battery_temp * 1.8 + 32)
controller_temp = rover.controller_temperature()
print('Controller Temperature: ', controller_temp, controller_temp * 1.8 + 32)
print('Load Voltage: ', rover.load_voltage())
print('Load Current: ', rover.load_current())
print('Load Power: ', rover.load_power())
print('Charging Status: ', rover.charging_status_label())
print('Solar Voltage: ', rover.solar_voltage())
print('Solar Current: ', rover.solar_current())
print('Solar Power: ', rover.solar_power())
print('Power Generated Today (kilowatt hours): ', rover.power_generation_today())
print('Charging Amp/Hours Today: ', rover.charging_amp_hours_today())
print('Discharging Amp/Hours Today: ', rover.discharging_amp_hours_today())
break
except minimalmodbus.NoResponseError:
slaveaddress = slaveaddress + 1

Hello,
Currently I am trying to make this work with a test setup of the Renogy Rover MPTT 40A controller. I have only a Mighty Max 12V 100Ahr connected to Bat (+) and Bat (-). PV(+), PV(-), Load(+), and Load(-) are all disconnected.
I can successfully use solarshed on '/dev/ttyUSB4', and I am confident this is the port that the Rover uses (see below). However there is no response from the Rover, why would that be? Do I need to make an adjustment to my test setup?
