Re: [Electric Boats] Re: When things fail away from home - the need for remote CANbus support.

 

Hi Chris,

I mainly use my phone in the cockpit using remote screen to my Color Control GX over the onboard LAN. Works great for me.

As regards NEMA 2000 here's a blog I did today:

Poerting and such from an earlier post.

I work part time for Victron Energy and converted my sailing yacht to electric. I use their Color Control GX and a 4 G router which allows me to monitor my system and switch chargers and such on and off. Victron also have the Oceanvolt drive system integrated into the Color Control. The software is currently being ported to Beaglebone Black and Raspberry-pi. See these links for more info:

Here's an example of the VRM portal (my boat) which the data logs to:

I can as I said use remote control to the Color Control which includes adjusting firmware etc but I obviously won't give that login out.

You can read more about the firmware updates at:
https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/category/firmware-software/

 

This is the Color Control itself:

Various other simpler/cheaper options for battery/MPPT monitoring as you'll see using Bluetooth LE.

This is my own boat https://www.facebook.com/ElektraYachts

Hope above of some help.
