Serial / UART

The satlog.io Data Logger board has an isolated serial/UART interface accessible via a JST 4-pin connector. The pinout is directly compatible with Victron equipment and cables (Ve.Direct) but can also be used with generic serial/UART devices. Contact us for help terminating your cable harness or configuring different baud rates.

VE.Direct​

Both Victron's SmartShunt / BMV products are supported, as well as inverter products using VE.Direct like the Phoenix line of inverters.

Custom Equipment​

The serial interface of the Data Logger is galvanically isolated and the IO level desired (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V) can be chosen by the connected equipment. Compatible connectors: 4-pin JST PH 2.0, default baud rate is 19,200.

Pins numbered left (4) to right (1).
