ccShell help

[David Hale]

I haven't run ccShell in so long I've forgotten how to run it. I used to run a mac version, but it doesn't seem to run anymore. Can anyone offer any help? Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

I couldn’t get it running on my Mac either.  Azure sent me the mac version in early 2008 - that might help guess at MacOS/Java builds that would work if you want to recreate the right mix.

Before my Azure motor broke, I ended up giving up on the Mac version and running ccShell on XP in VirtualBox on top of linux installed on a Mac Mini (trust me, it made sense at the time).  Not the most elegant solution, but it worked.  

Now that I am using the Curtis controller, I have gotten rid of the XP.  I’ve written a simple Python program that reads data from the Manzanita BMS and broadcasts it via websockets where it gets graphed in JavaScript in a web page.  At the moment, I just use it for monitoring the batteries from my living room while they are charging.  When work gets less crazy, I will get it running on a small display on the dashboard to I can monitor them while I am driving.  If anyone would like to see the (really, really, really hacked) code, I would be glad to share.  I am trying to teach myself both Python and JavaScript with this project, so not the prettiest of programming.

Glad you are getting close enough to want to talk to your controller, Dave.  Good luck with it.

Yeah, I have been searching through emails to try to get the history. I found the ccshell.app for Mac from Azure, and then one where I myself wrote that I wasn't able to get it to work. But I distinctly remember getting captures using my MacBook. It's possible I used wine, but I can't seem to find it in my wine directory. I know I had it running on Linux at one point using Crossover's winetools, but that was a FitPC that I had installed in the car briefly and it was such a tiny screen I never made use of it.

I finally got the batteries wired together last night -- I'm ready to turn the key (!) but I need to reprogram both the DMOC and the Elithion BMS first.

I'm close...

haha! I got it! I had another FitPC with Windows XP on it. I had the windows version of ccShell-3 on my mac as well, copied that over, installed an old JRE that I downloaded, and it works; I'm in! Dave
