Just a comment on my v6.2 board. You can see the circuit pads for the Micro-USB connector.
If this connector was present then external power would be much easier to hook up (no soldering).

Re: Metrics Capture Failing
FYI I found a couple of RJ adaptors that I modified to breakout the 6 control lines. I put this in series with the existing RJ cable to the Renogy RS232 port. My RJ connector is wired as below:
WHT,BLK,RED,GRN,YEL,BLU
WHT = +13.6v
BLK = -5.7v (data)
BLU = +12.8v
If I disconnect the WHT wire the Snetek stops working even though it has external power via the "AUX Power" wires.
I've had some other issues the the Renogy SCC so hvn't spent much time on the Snektek which has been working fine all week.

Re: Metrics Capture Failing
Hi Ron, can you provide more detail on “stops working even though it has external power”. I have a separate thread open on an issue where logs and metrics not working but all else is fine. Is this what you experienced?
