Note that when using a Redflow ZBM2/ZCell battery, pin 7 should be cut even if the CCGX is DC
powered, to avoid the same deadlock at times when the Redflow battery cluster is at 0% SoC.
The disadvantage of cutting pin 7 is that switching the VE.Bus device off will be less effective:
although it will stop charging and inverting, it will still be in standby mode and therefore drawing
more current from the battery than if pin 7 had been left in place. Typically this is only relevant in
Marine or Automotive systems where it's normal to regularly switch the VE.Bus device off. For those
types of systems we recommend that you do not cut pin 7, but simply power the CCGX from the
battery.
Q21: I love Linux, programming, Victron and the Color Control GX. Can I do
more?
Yes you can! We intend to release almost all code as open source, but we are not that far yet. What
we can offer today is that many parts of the software are in script or other non-precompiled
languages, such as Python and QML, and therefore available on your Color Control GX and easy to
change. Root password and more information is available here.
