Re: 2nd gen dreamcharger presented on IFA Berlin 2014…
Placed my order with GearBest two days ago. Not a moment too soon. Website shows out of stock now.
Gearbest webpage shows in stock for me :thumbsup:
As a shopper from the States i would buy the charger from a US dealer, the prices are competitive.
just got this last night , trying to get the software to run to no avail...
the pc monitor from skyrc does nothing when i try to run it
says fw version 1.10 on my machine, do i need to update it to make the software run?
No, you don't need to update your machine to make the software run.
In fact, if the software doesn't run, then it means there is no established data line between charger and computer, and in such a case it would be dangerous to try to update the machine. That's why the instructions for the update include this procedure.
I just bought the MC3000 from gearbest.com and am getting an Unhandled exception error when using your PC link software. I have tried the soft reset but the that does not work. Any thoughts?
Fyi no external driver needs to be installed, once you connect the charger with the Windows PC (e.g. WinXP SP3 or Win7
with .NET Framework 4.0) the necessary driver is installed internally/
automatically and it is recognized
as USB-HID in the device manager.
Also see section Error Message in the printed instruction manual.
The Problem is, that the -deltaU Termination does not work correctly with a C.Current below 0,3C......
To match the Termination of the charge process at 1,6C, i have to set the CAPACITY to 1,6C or the TimeProtection to 8 hours.
When i use one of these two settings, the whole Cycle Program terminates when one of these values matches (there is no second Cycle).
You can try to set
DELTA PEAK to
0dV and test this setting with one of your NiMH batteries at 0.2C. But seriously, even Maha recommends charging at no lower than 0.3C, although the MH-C9000 uses voltage termination: when you feed an ever so small current to a NiMH battery, the battery will eventually get fully charged but its peak voltage level will be lower than at a higher rate, also due to the
Batt IR. This phenomenon is different from LiIon charging where the peak voltage level is always around 4.2V no matter how fast or slow you charge, given the same 50mA
TERMINATION current.
Your feature suggestion has been discussed before and it may stay on de list. Afaik there are currently no plans to implement something like
OnCapacityNext.
And what about
OnCutTimeNext and
OnCutTempNext and all the other possible Error Messages intended for abnormal program termination inherited from hobby chargers all of which terminate programs at the
CUT condition? Btw there are charge capacities and there are discharge capacities.
So you want
OnChargeCapacityNext or
OnDischargeCapacityNext, or do you want both separately, or do you want
OnEitherCapacityNext? This makes it 4 clear choices and whatever you choose, the choice can't satisfy/please/be liked etc etc
Hmm,
i see my two points
You could also send your feature suggestion directly to sky, they might reply with a :shrug:-smiley though gg
