    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Depending on how decent you are at bitwise operators or coding style I find something like // Bus Frequency Row 12 int Pval = (DCSParams[12][5] << 24) | (DCSParams[12][4] << 16) | (DCSParams[12][3] << 8) | DCSParams[12][2]; float PvalFloat = static_cast<float>(Pval) / 1000.0; Serial.print("Row...

    Proper grounding for generator as a component of off grid solar / house system.

    This video is one of the best imo because it uses great animations to show the path the electricity will take and goes over many scenarios.

    Auto-Throttle on MEP-831a

    That's what I was wondering I know how the pin works since I have no batteries and have to pull start every time, just wanted to make sure if I left it pinned it wouldn't burn up the controller, some random guy gave me a good deal on that controller and didn't wanna see it die after a month lol

    Auto-Throttle on MEP-831a

    Right was unsure if that was too high or would break the governor controller from trying to de-throttle it and it being locked

    Auto-Throttle on MEP-831a

    Firstly I am using the kloppk governor controller, I am curious if there is a way that anyone knows of to turn off the low idle so it doesn't have to "catch up" for the power draw specifically for use with my little welder. I know other inverter gensets have this setting and didn't see any...

    MEP-803A LOAD CAPACITY

    Right I had it drop out on me once while running the house but didn't get to see the load...I have an 803a and this 831a and other than a/c seems the 831a can run entire house with no issues (gas water heater and furnace) so I'm curious mainly on the max load of the 1030 as I think that might be...

    MEP-803A LOAD CAPACITY

    Not to post snipe but since it is here, what is the max "safe" load on the 1030 and 1040? is it similar to the 802 and 803 about 6.5kw and 12.5kw? also what is the "safe" load on the 831 4kw maybe?

    Runs rough and black smoke on initial start

    Also a valid point for sure and likely what it was

    Runs rough and black smoke on initial start

    Just sounds like it was cold is all, black smoke is unburnt fuel most diesels do this at startup especially after not running for a bit or when in cold temperatures until it warms up a bit, all my gensets do it when cold (MEP-803a, MEP-831a, MEP-016d) as does my truck (11 6.7 powerstroke)...

    Does anyone use black diesel?

    I mainly plan to use the black diesel for a diesel heater for the garage, but figured if I have enough and it wouldn't mess anything up I could use it for the gensets as well.

    Does anyone use black diesel?

    Curious if anyone has tried black diesel(90% used motor oil, 10% gasoline) in their gensets? I have an unlimited supply of used motor oil from work and could easily make 1500 gallons now just curious if cleaned and filtered correctly I don't see any issues?

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    could be, like I said I can't really make heads or tails of it in the code I just know it runs some coms on the main thread and then spawns a new thread and switches to that after some communication has taken place

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Ya something is weird in the code on initial connection, it seems it starts comms on the ui thread and then spawns a new thread just for comms and uses that from then forward, but only after it has requested data the first time...not sure if an oversight or intended but that may describe why it...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    I can in the software but im emulating the generator, I dont have a genset to make an emulator for the software, that side of things is up to kloppk he has a 1030 xd

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    Yea its very trivial, my library makes it pretty easy int main() { bool is_connected = false; while (!is_connected) { std::cout << "Please choose a port number to connect." << std::endl; int user_port; std::cin >> user_port; is_connected =...

    MEP-831A magnet on governor arm not releasing (video)

    Didn't want to create a new thread but quick question, has anyone had the contactor drop out? All the fault lights work and I was testing a heavy load the other day and the contactor just dropped out yet no fault lights were illuminated, reclosing the circuit worked fine and it hasn't done it...

    also if ( CParamDataModel2::GetEnumIndex((CWnd *)((char *)v112 + 212), 0x2C9Cu) == 2 ) { v97 = CParamDataModel2::GetValue((int)v93, 0x104F); v95 = v97; v113 = 19; ATL::CStringT<char,StrTraitMFC_DLL<char,ATL::ChTraitsCRT<char>>>::operator=((char *)v112 + 2012, v97)...

    AMMPS Generator Series Remote Data

    yep was a typo i fixed it, that B1 28 corresponds to "ON" number 4 on your sheet, im gonna guess it battle short u will have to test to see if the response is a 1 with battle short on if ( CParamDataModel2::GetEnumIndex((CWnd *)((char *)v112 + 212), 0x28B1u) ) v9 = "ON"; else...
