Hi! Franky Tong here I’ve known about this forum through my customers for a while and finally decided to register for an account so I can post directly
I contacted YZXstudio just now and they told me there’s no plan to stop producing their power banks (perhaps it was another product KAAYEE was referrring to?). They will continue to make and improve them. I’m not sure who else would sell and ship them outside of China though.
I will add variable timeout setting, now it is fixed 2 seconds.
But the other zy is working or also broken? Can you please try to connect with putty? So when putty is working, then my app is fault, otherwise it‘s your zl1100. Anyone else here with a zl1100 for testing?
Regards
Patrick
Edit: my zy only times out when I display the chart screen on it, other screens don‘t cause a Time out
Welcome to BLF Franky. If you happen to find out who could sell the power banks, let us know. I would think someone could sell quite a few of them if there was a solid place to buy them from, especially if they were converted to English.
Pardon my ignorance, how does one connect a serial-USB adapter to the ZY127x meters? Does the ZY127x meter have to have the bluetooth module installed for this to work? Or just need to buy some kind of serial-to-USB chip and (temporarily) connect it to certain contact points of the ZY127x meter?
I also have the ZL1100 load tester, and getting same error message as maukka above.
I actually haven’t tried to connect the ZL1100 tester to the computer yet before, so it’s my first time to test it connected to the PC.
(I’m not familiar how to use Putty, but I searched and downloaded a free software called RealTerm, opened the correct COM port, and it started to log results on the window); I had to use “Run as Administrator” to get RealTerm to work:
The above image correspond to reading of 5.0097v, 0.1000A, 0.9869Ah, 11.3322Wh
The “CPS” status window fluctuates between 740 to 1110 cps.
Not sure if this will help in debugging your great app.
