HUB update - V9.22.3

VERSIONDESCRIPTIONDELIVRY DATE
V9.22.3

1) Bug fix: Local boat settings erroneously parsed

In rare cases, the local boat settings were erroneously parsed, leading to issues in the algorithms. For instance, when a boat is identified as a catamaran but lacks this information, the battery status deduction algorithm may not provide accurate estimations (e.g., charging or discharging).

2) Events rework

  1. Events cannot be retriggered once activated until a condition has been met to 'untrigger' them.

  2. Position-based events only use strongly filtered position data.

  3. Events no longer incorrectly assume data is available every second.


3) Powerail: Implemented software updates over CAN (v3 only)

This update allows the HUB to receive new software for the Powerail, and send it out on CAN.

4) Powerail (re)configuration fix: B&G screen got stuck during update

In some cases, after a reconfiguration of the powerails, the process got stuck, showing a waiting screen on the B&G screen. The issue was identified and fixed.

5) NMEA2000 parser: Enabled blacklisting for noisy sensors

In some cases, sensors are found to be sending garbage data (stuck to certain nonsensical values) onto the CAN bus. The blacklist must be configured manually per boat (for now).

6) Partially updated linux kernel

Various updates are required to support new hardware and security measures, affecting WiFi and low-level software.

7) Software update: Improved download mechanisms

Enhance download mechanisms to ensure a smoother and more reliable update procedure.

8) Bug fix: Fuel consumption maximum

The fuel consumption parameter was incorrectly calibrated to be capped to a maximum of 70L/h (to detect errors), the cap is now removed to avoid capping incorrectly in all cases.

9) Bug fix: Embedded app (B&G) shortcut was not linked to an output anymore

Error introduced in 

10) Enabled Starlink connectivity [if ethernet port is unused]

In scenarios where the Ethernet port is unused, connectivity from a router is enabled, allowing for a Starlink connection. A priority can be configured to select one interface over another.

For devices with the Ethernet port already in use, a subsequent update will enable connectivity for devices like Starlink.

11) Network link diagnosis and monitoring

Continuously test each network link (cellular connection, Ethernet connection, WiFi connection) and enable remote monitoring via Grafana.

12) Reduced LEDs intensity (HUB’s logo)

This is to prevent excessively bright lights at night (which can distract sailors) and unnecessary self-heating.

13) Powerail configuration: Added field maximumCapacity for tanks

The embedded app uses it to display the percentage of tanks.


14) Powerail configuration: Added Vsense_sync functionality

In a very rare case, the input sensor measurement was not synchronized with the sensor’s power cycle.

15) Powerail driver: Passed more measurements from Powerail to backend storage (visible on Grafana)

This includes the current and temperature of outputs. It is fully available on Powerail V3, while only even outputs are supported on V1 (due to a datasheet mistake).

16) Hardware integration: Added support for new LTE modem.

As time progresses, incremental changes are made to the HUB to stay updated on supported technologies and connectivity. The software adapts accordingly to support all hardware variations.
