Currently considering the best way to do this.
For Sale Standalone ESP32 BLE Battery Display for Victron Systems
Also do you have the STL File I could have for this one please?
Thank you. Perhaps I should have been clearer that I meant an initial load of the .bin file onto a brand new device; Since I posted I've got as far as getting the code to compile under PlatformIO, and I have a device to play with on its way from AliExpress. But I see on GitHub that you've now decided to go closed-source. That's a shame.
Thanks. Yes, the repository is now source-available up to v4, with development from v5 onwards being commercial.
I'm currently at beta version 8.
I won't be producing a guide for flashing generic AliExpress boards, as that would effectively be documentation for reproducing the product.
If you'd like a ready-to-use device with ongoing firmware updates and support, they're available from ChargeScreen.
Sorry about this decision not being as you wished.

Are you saying the version 7 will not be able to be downloaded in the future? You will offer the download for a fee? I still see it available so I'm confused.
Thanks bud
Im not surprised the latest isn't free. The owner has put a hell of a lot into this now.
Not at all.
The firmware itself will continue to be available to download free of charge for ChargeScreen users, just as it is now.
The only change is that future source code will no longer be publicly available.
This is simply to protect the project from being copied or repackaged into other products.
If you own a ChargeScreen, you'll still be able to download and install firmware updates as normal.
It has been something I've thought about for a while, to be honest.
How many weeks ago was it that I introduced this to the forum as something I made, and I wasn't sure if anyone else would want it?
Since then I have tens of people per day contacting me about it.

What started as a small hobby has grown into a small business, and I wanted to protect the work from simply being copied and resold by third parties.
The firmware binary will still be available, and I've also added ChargeScreen branding and links within the firmware to make it harder for copies to be passed off as the original.
ChargeScreen units are still available as before:
ChargeScreen: £40 + postage
Rear power cable: £4.50
I'm also planning to host the excellent 3D printable enclosure design by DWiskow on the website, so it remains available to the community.
I should have at least 50 screens in stock next week, with more arriving shortly after.
No worries. Clearly I had misunderstood your intention in publishing the code. My ESP32 device arrived today, and I can successfully build 4.16 onto it, but not upgrade it to the published 7.06 off the website.
No, I can't see it being a problem. Be good to see photos of how others have it mounted.
