Only get_system_parameters() working

[JumpmanJunior]

I am trying to use the library with a Pylontech 2000C. But only the get_system_parameters() command is working. I get no reply to all the other commands. Here is the error message - I am also printing the raw frame which I receive from the Pylontech:

>>> print(p.get_system_parameters())

Any idea what the issue could be?

I'm having the same Problem but got it fixed with selecting the ID of the Battery Back one by one

    def get_values_single(self, dev_id):
        bdevid = "{:02X}".format(dev_id).encode()
        self.send_cmd(dev_id, 0x42, bdevid)
        f = self.read_frame()
        # infoflag = f.info[0]
        d = self.get_values_single_fmt.parse(f.info[1:])
        return d

  get_values_single_fmt = construct.Struct(
        "NumberOfModules" / construct.Byte,
        "Module" / construct.Array(1, construct.Struct(
            "NumberOfCells" / construct.Int8ub,
            "CellVoltages" / construct.Array(construct.this.NumberOfCells, ToVolt(construct.Int16sb)),
            "NumberOfTemperatures" / construct.Int8ub,
            "AverageBMSTemperature" / ToCelsius(construct.Int16sb),
            "GroupedCellsTemperatures" / construct.Array(construct.this.NumberOfTemperatures - 1, ToCelsius(construct.Int16sb)),
            "Current" / ToAmp(construct.Int16sb),
            "Voltage" / ToVolt(construct.Int16ub),
            "Power" / construct.Computed(construct.this.Current * construct.this.Voltage),
            "RemainingCapacity" / DivideBy1000(construct.Int16ub),
            "TotalCapacity" / DivideBy1000(construct.Int16ub),
            "CycleNumber" / construct.Int16ub,
        )),
        "TotalPower" / construct.Computed(lambda this: sum([x.Power for x in this.Module])),
        "StateOfCharge" / construct.Computed(lambda this: sum([x.RemainingCapacity for x in this.Module]) / sum([x.TotalCapacity for x in this.Module])),

    )

I, sorry for the late reply. @hnxfirefly would you mind doing an MR so we can fix the code ?

@JumpmanJunior I wasn't able to reproduce on my battery. I'll check your payload ASAP and try to fix the code if @hnxfirefly doesn't fix it first :p Cheers

[JumpmanJunior]

@hnxfirefly's solution worked. I was able to get the values with his code and requesting the values for each battery individually.

[hnxfirefly]

@Frankkkkk I'm planning to do a MR but i haven't had time till now as i'd like to set define the struct in a way it makes sense for a single request and also a function that requests every battery one after another.

Single also works for me on my 3000C's
