That Wiki keeps referring to RS232. There is no RS232 around VE.Direct, it's 5V TTL for the MPPT's and 3.3V TTL for the BMV's.
I've had to put a number of people straight around here. They shove +-12V RS232 signals up their poor little BMV and wonder why it's protesting,
Besides the Voltage, TTL signals are inverted in comparison to RS232.

Yeh ok. I won't delete it, so your protest can stay registered. :)

Na, don't delete it, it's a good Wiki otherwise. Nice find!
It'd be nice to get the Wiki owner to correct their mistakes.

Both of the cables in the wiki use a TTL-232 adapter; one is a module, the other is a raw board.
