Support

I am considering buying the new juicebox retrofit board to get myself started in the OpenEVSE world. I have exactly zero experience with OpenEVSE, and some experience with DIY electronics (ESP-home).

Could someone help me figure out, before I jump in:

* Is that board all-inclusive, or is any additional hardware required?

* Is it compatible with a screen, or at least a button?

* Is it pre-flashed, or do I need to get a programmer too? Which one?

Thanks in advance.

I just restarted the unit and get the following, no count on the GFCI error but it is displayed.  

Fault will go away, but will no longer detect car or change from starting

@OpenEVSE Support - your website is expired - any plans on resolving that soon?  I had this bookmarked and was planning on purchasing the Juicebox kit today.

Sorry to say after only 2 charges this board has now stopped working.

Seems to be stuck in "Starting" mode and will not detect the car.

I restarted via power off, waiting 5 min and starting the unit, I got the GFCI Error, then switched to manual mode and the error went away.  However, it will not go past the starting mode. Of note the 2 LEDs, flash red with the GFCI error, then purple then off.

I then tried the DEV firmware update to see if that would fix it, no luck.

Looking for suggestions, could I have a faulty board? 

I have attached my debug export.json file, do you need anything else?

Looking forward to getting this unit back in working order.

Thanks ! This looks like a good idea, my replacement board however has no LED's on it so can not use this method. I plan on using the LED connector which has 3 LED's green, blue, and orange just need to know if the plug in LED's need to have a resistor added.

Allen Voshall, sorry I was wrong, as I had not turned on the board I did not see the 2 LED's next to the WiFi.  But would still like to add the extra LED's :)

I am up and running, thanks :)  Questions... When plugged in the car is not charging but the dashboard shows 1.8amp 400w is charging. second question when it is charging it seems the current is above what is showing on the dashboard, so my guess is I need to update the calibration however can not find the spot to do this.  Again thanks for a great product.

Still have not worked out the "current" issue, so for now, it is way off, I have a question about the temp sendors, all my ones show zero on the web page, do I have to add them?
