VE Power Setup v1.3

Last week we released version 1.3 of VE Power Setup. The most important change is a fix to an issue when connecting to VE.Direct products on non-English versions of Windows. Furthermore there are some small GUI and connection assistant improvements.

Right before v1.3 we also released v1.2. The changes in v1.2 were:

• Improved VE.Can communications
• Improved the connection assistant

Drivers for both the CANUSB interface and the VE.Direct USB interface are available on our software downloads page

The next major improvements planned are:

• Configuring the MPPT Solar chargers, such as all the new models that are coming soon: 100/50, 150/35 and 150/85. Some are already on their way by air as we speak, so they available from stock next week or the week after!
• Remote firmware updates: update firmware of VE.Direct and VE.Can products connected to a CCGX somewhere far away, simply from your desk, using VE Power Setup. To make this same feature available for Inverters, Multis and Quattros is unfortunately a lot more work, so that will take a lot longer. Updating these would also need to be treated with more care: you don’t want to shut down a system remotely without any warning if there are people using it.

And, last but not least, adding versions for Linux and Apple OS X. Yes I read those comments of the last post. Glad it didn’t turn out into the typical my OS is better than yours war :).

Have a good weekend!
