I just ordered a Batrium kit, watchmon,longmons, and the shunt. Anything else i need to/should buy/order to get started or should that be good for the initial setup? Other than seeing Pete's videos on the system i really haven't done a ton of research on the different addons or specific wiring diagrams, etc. I have an mpp inverter, i know there's something that some guys are testing to control the inverter, but that is still in the works so no need ordering that controller yet i don't think. Do i need a seperate charger for the balancing function? I'm still doing some research on a good shunt trip, but that can be done once i get the system.

Thank you! I must havemissed this video of his.
 
AZ_Tekkie Im one of the guys working on the system alot yes. And i have done some scripts that can controll them from for instance a raspberry pi. There havent been much done last 2-3 weeks but we picked up the work today again and hope to get going. For now we only have generic logging but working on controlling the units.

There is also work done with Batriums own expander board that with the Batrium as a start will be able to control the PIP4048.

If you have any questions just ask and me, Peter, Jaron or any of the other will answer :)
