Hi Stuart,
unfortunately I’ve found no way to PM you directly.
I just have a question about your projects:
Have you ever thought about monitoring 4 cells with a single ds18b20 ?
So you can temp monitor a whole DIY powerpack with many cells and just a few ds18b20.
The ds18b20 are 1-wire devs and can mounted very easily in the gap between 4 cells.
Maybe that would be an interesting feature for your DIYBMS ?
You could monitor the temps and push them into a MQTT msg and provide automated security features before a cell will have a thermal runaway or if a cell will become a heater cell…
If there is some abnormal temps there could be automatic shutdown of the powerpack or just a notify (MQTT2externalmsg or MQTT2Event (turning on a lamp)).
I think such ds18b20 in a powerpack can provide a better security level for us all.
What do you think about that ?
