Best replacement for Adaptto?

[bowers]

So... I'm running a complete Adaptto setup with a Mini-E, coil/charger and Adaptto BMS.

I love this setup for everything it's worth, but since I ride a lot and cannot live without the bike I'm also looking for a replacement system due to uncertainties with Adaptto's customer care, slow replies/repairs etc.

Does anyone have some good tips for a nice and complete setup with a sine-wave controller (min. 3kw) and a good LCD? CA v3 can probably deliver most of the functions that Adaptto has, but a 2-line text display is just too 1980's

Thanks!

I don't think such a complete system exists, Adaptto is sorta on its own in this regard. I'm in a similar situation though, but with the Midi-E.

It'll need to be put together with separate parts from separate companies.

I've been thinking about maybe doing something with an arduino to create the UI, add some other features, and allow for logging. Using the APT96600 controller (Sinewave, 120V max battery pack, 96V max output, 200A continuous, 600A peak current), which has RS232 and CANBUS support (and a built in 12V dc-dc converter). Then the bestech SMBus/i2C smart BMS (supports up to 200A natively, 500A with an external contactor, and 32S battery pack).

Should be able to interface with the BMS via I2C to get/set parameters, will be able to read parameters from the controller via CANBUS, but I don't know about programming via RS232 with an arduino. However, I do have the source code for their Windows based programming application, it was written in VB6 of all things, hope I remember the language, haha.
