Xr bms swap

@lia I'm going for a ride with this combination today and hopefully it will be ok. May have to hail a taxi. Haha.
... Meanwhile, I'm waiting anxiously for an email for shipping on the GT as it's supposed to be shipped today.

Owie isn't a clone of the JW FFM chip. It is already better, and will only get even more better. Current enhancements include having access to individual cell voltages, a better %remaining calculation, wireless firmware upgrades, and board locking. Soon coulomb counting.

@biell That's great, I'm just waiting for the eps8266 chips. Seems like Owie enhancements are coming fast and furious. T

This is smth that really should have done by FM at first place, for crying out loud.

@lemur I didn't realise a Pint BMS could work with an XR controller.

This is great news, opens up so much more stock for repairs. Thanks for testing this @Lemur

Pint bms works in the 4209 xr??
are the plugs the same? this makes bringing frankenboard to life a little easier!!
anybody got a spare xr battery box ?

@lia Finally got a chance to test the Pint bms , Jw chip , 4210 controller combination . You are right about pairing , that combo doesn't work.

• The Pint bms and JW chip does NOT work with 4210> controller, keeps on asking for reboot, would work for a few minutes then code 16 comes on. The Jw chip does pair a 4208 bms with the 4210 controller and that's the combo I riding with now *. I put that retraction on our local FB page.
  I have to try a Pint bms and 4210 controller with Owie.

@stinkyface Sorry, to burst that bubble, actual test ride resulted in code 16 and rebooting.

All good here. Worth a shot.
