Title: Charging station OpenEVSE not working anymore since v19 firmware update
Post by: GeneralSP on September 30, 2021, 07:18:58 PM
Hi folks. my dealer maked firmware update v18 to v19 (ZEROSRS) when I gone for a annual maintenance. Now my OpenEVSE indicate connected and my bike is ready to charge but nothing, the bike stay to 0 amp. My original charge station coming with my bike work great and my OpenEVSE work with my Nissan Leaf.

Have you any idea about it? can I set some config in my charger?

I am not familiar with OpenEVSE, but just wanted to clarify that an EVSE it's not a Charger, It's just a "smart" outlet, or plug , that can tell the Charger that's connected to it, using J1772 protocol, how much power it can, safely , draw without tripping the breaker.

Sorry, yes OpenEVSE is a charging station.

That's really weird.  It's just a resistor read.

I think is the J1772 tube connector need to cleanup. If is not working, I will change it.

The Aptive cable Zero first gave me with my SR/S would rarely charge my bike. Sometimes it would charge maybe 10% before disconnecting. Most the time it would see the cable but not charge. The TurboCord they replaced it with works fine.
Seems like the v19 is more finicky when trying to read the EVSE.
