Double LilyGo
Some Inverters do not like to see automotive CAN frames on the CAN channel meant for stationary storage. When they see these messages, they enter a fault state. To get around this, we can use two LilyGo's in tandem, one interfacing only with battery, and the other interfacing only with inverter. They then talk to each other via Serial communication on the RS485 pins, to relay the data without CAN.
Use twisted pair wires between the RS485 pins on both LilyGo's RS_A <-> RS_A RS_B <-> RS_B
Example configuration, using a Tesla battery with Solax inverter. All configurations are done in the USER_SETTINGS.h
file. The two new options (#define SERIAL_LINK_RECEIVER
& #define SERIAL_LINK_TRANSMITTER
) can be found here.
