Cannot set parameters "old" ANT BMS

Hi,

pack.jpg

Finally back at the project again. I have wired up a 26s1p battery pack (the cells are 37AH) with an ANT BMS that I bought the summer 2020 and can connect to the BMS with the (IOS) ANT BMS app v2.3.4.119 and see cell voltages and see the Run_Time increasing. But that is where my success ends.

I cannot get the CurrentlyPermissions to anything other than 0. I have tried FastSetting and entering 123456789abc as Lv5AutPwd and click verify (but get no feedback, have also tried 000000000000), I have entered UnitNumber 26 and touched Settings and then save gotten Set_Success but nothing is persisted. Note that this is exactly how the app behaves also when not connected to the pack. Btw, after trying to set any setting the Run_Time stops counting if that is a clue.

I suspect I need an older app but which, from where and how? Possible with iPhone or do I have to find an Android? Is it possible to connect through a serial interface and set the parameters via computer? Or a PC/Mac application and bluetooth? Please help so that I can update my other project thread with some progress :D

You need an old version of the software. On iPhone the Chinese version is working with older ant BMS also, the English version only with the new versions.
 
How do I find the chinese version? My ANT BMS app was in chinese until I changed phone language to english. Now the app is chinglish.
 
Oh wow. I think I found it. Thanks a bunch.

Is this the one you meant? I was able to (I think) set the capacity and the number of cells and it persisted. Now, is there a translation sheet or something available? What are the key parameters I need to set?
