Hi, My new SolarMax2 based systems have been working well, the battery charge indicator in Blynk from the SkyWeather2 template doesn't appear to work (either of Pins V56 or V127) correctly. Can you advise how best next steps to troubleshoot here? Thanks! DM Attachments:

Sounds like a bug to me. Tell me what version of SkyWeather2 are you using? Then I'll put it on the bug list.

Hi BP,
One further question here. If you look at the screenshot you will also notice -ve current flow for both Solar Current and Battery Current in afternoon with strong sunlight, am I missing something here? my interpretation is that the SolarMax is providing all power (whilst the battery is being charged) so should show a +ve current flow? both my units exhibit this behavior.
Thanks!

Strong light, should be a - into the battery and a + from the solar card. Could you post a couple of the readings from the database?
I suspect you have a couple of wires reversed in the SolarMAX solar inputs in the INA3221 board.

Hi BP, I finally had a chance to extract these readings. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate time range - good sunshine at its location today. Did you already incorporate the Blynk charge indicator into the Bug list? Thanks for your help! Dustin Attachments:Solar Readings.txt (24.5 KB)

Dustin,
Looks like it is doing a great job. The Plus and the Minus for the Solar Panel on the INA3221 are reversed.
yes on the Blynk battery charge, but I added it anyway to make sure we don't miss it.
