Connecting MPPT to SignalK
#2

It would be very cool if I could connect this to my Pi 4 and feed data into the SignalK server for displaying on some Gauges.

Has anyone done this already? Which would be the best way to get the data into the pi.. Bluetooth or VE.Direct cable?


Many thanks for any help or advice you can give

Paul

I believe this has already been done. I do this with my battery monitor and a VE.Direct cable to my RPi. Check for Victron plug-ins in SignalK. Find which one looks like it will work best, install it, and go from there. There is also an Srne-to-SignalK plug in I'm trying with a different (none Victron) charge controller, but so far, I'm not getting data into the plug-in. It's down the list a ways, so not important enough to deal with yet.
