Rec-BMS + Raspberry Pi (No Cerbo Issue)

Seeing how its impossible to source a Cerbo GX at this time, and not wanting to hold up my launch, im wondering if anyone has successfully linked the Rec-BMS to a Raspberry Pi? The Rec controls the Victron gear through the CAN interface. Im hoping someone can point me to a solution that connect the Rec to Pi. Ill be installing 4P4S LifePo4 (280ah each) into a marine environment. Also have a multi-plus 12/3k/120 w/ (2) 100/50 MPPT, a 220BP, an Argo Fet, and BVM-712.

Hi, I’d personally try to get a canbus hat for your pi. or a usbconnected can interface.


There is documentation here, but note thats its “community maintained”: I dont know how up to date it is.

could be that by the time you have this up and running, your Cerbo arrives :-). But I can say anything date-wise there, sorry.


all the best, Matthijs
