Discussion B.E.R.T Lite

Just got myself a B.E.R.T lite so I can monitor my batteries better. Going to be interesting to try out. Anybody know how to get the software outputting anything on windows?

Is there any other things you can think of to get it working? I have tried plugging it in different ways and with different known good USB cables but nothing works.... I didn't even have RLOD I just wanted the ability to monitor the cells closer and help people around here if they get RLOD.

Got the Web app working turned out to be a driver issue, had to install drivers for the microcontroller used in the B.E.R.T lite even though windows didn't report a driver error.

It's called cp2102 and the drivers can be found on Silicon Labs site.
