After installing mppsolar in Windows10 with pip install mppsolar I would try to install the ble version to test funcionality:

then, I uninstalled mppsolar[ble] and I tryied to install again the basic mppsolar, but now I cannot run the basic mppsolar:

your port COM5: is identifying as a BLE port (due to the :)
either remove the semi-colon and/or add --porttype=serial (or whatever type is connected to COM5)

PS I have never tested on Windows, so have no idea if it will work or not - its really intended for linux systems

[ogry]

Worked for me adding the --porttype=serial option. Thankyou for the prompt response!!!

My main computer is a Debain 12, but unfortunately the USB to serial adapter doesn't want to work on it. I had to rescue this old Windows laptop to check that the problem wasn't in the inverter.

My main computer is a Debain 12, but unfortunately the USB to serial adapter doesn't want to work on it.

Can you share more details? Is it the permission error or something else?

[ogry]

Really don't know, as I changed the adaptor and now I'm back over my debian.

BTW, the ANERN AN SCI MAX 10200 (a cheap clone of Voltronic) doesn't play well with the PIP protocol, or even with the PIP30, which is what it sometimes responds to. Many requests are slow to respond, long response times, some remain unanswered for minutes... however, the RS232 port seems to actually behave like a MODBUS RTU, and reading the registers through it is turning out to be much quicker and simpler than it seemed.

@ogry
Their documentation specifies MODBUS RTU, but I have not been able to make friends with it yet. I am currently using PI30, but I see problems in the library

although my ANERN says OSO
