Dont feel bad, I blew 3 power supplies learning this.
Starting to feel like I have a bad charger, got a code this time, reinstalled the software and tried again ... another power supply went up in smoke At this point I could have just bought a 308DUO

Checked the resistance of 4 resistors ... 0.240ohms, 5 resistors comes in at 0.197ohms. Find it strange the charger works fine on 4 resistors but burn power supplies with 5 ... again thinking I got a bad charger

Why are you trying to use 5 resistors when 4 should be enough, if you have the correct resistors.

how about sharing it to us here where you bought these resistors (links)and how you build it and how you connected it to the x6....a lot of us here would really appreciate it.

my bad, i do have five on mine, sorry for the mistake, but check your resistors and your connections just to make sure you are doing it correctly.

Just look on amazon for 1ohm 100watts resistors simple you need 5 of them . And the new 204 software

I don't mean to sound like a jerk but some people need to take a little initiative.
because I am not familiar with electronics. All I know is to solder wires to a motor.... which I recently learned.. Why do people here assume that everyone in this hobby knows how to work with stuff that requires more knowledge in machining and electronics? Lol

you want regen mode off and extra discharge enabled
Although the pictures you posted earlier look like you have the settings correct already.
Have you tried reflashing the firmware?
Yeah everything is set properly, and I re-flashed the software, its just a bad charger ... sending it in for replacement today.

around 4A

not that much hardware needed you probably spend less than $20 in parts and about 25-30 minutes to put it together. the main thing is to load the new software and the proper charger settings . I spent about $13 including 1day shipping for the resistors (I already had ha extra cooling fan)

What does that 'AD watchdog error' mean?

I got it once while it was just sitting there

Default 2.0.4 firmware
would someone point me in the right direction to get a link to download v2.0.4 firmware.

i have downloaded the latest software from jun-si via the soft link on my pc.

so far I’ve been able to discharge up to 30 amps with a discharge extender the I made and have came across any problems.
