This is something which bothered me for quite a while: my Raspberry Pi was still running an old version of Victron Venus OS. It refused to update and never downloaded a newer version at some point. It was stuck in the past!
Tonight (yes, another late night show) I'm finally updating this old beast to the newest Victron OS and also install the Ruuvi temperature sensor, Kevin's Setup Helper and some more upgrades.
As always, I show all this step by step so, if you're stuck in the past with your Venus OS, just follow this video guideline.

Very cool video Andy! This is very cool to see! Love all the mods packages.

This is magic Andy! Right now, today, I took my SD-card out of my Raspy with Venus-OS because I tried to setup a bluetooth Mopeka gas sensor and it didn‘t work!! Now I know why - because I haven‘t the latest firmware! You made my day (again and repeatedly)! Thanks a lot.

Thanks! This video was quite helpful. I'm now running Venus OS 3.0-14 on my RPi4 with the gui mods installed.

Congrats on making the upgrade. I can see how you'd find it easy to put this off when everything was working just fine.

Thanks for sharing Andy, Victron has build a nice ecosyatem in which people are able to tinker as well.

Yeah, that would've taken me years to find time to do it too, but thank you for showing me how to do it! Great job, as always Andy.

Thanks I was thinking about the Pi. It’s so stable.

@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading

Heya, very nice update and so easy to install well done

Hey Andy, I’m glad I’m not the only one that was stuck on v2.66. Also you might want to change your setting for DC system to show that usage, since you have DC only devices. Click Settings, then System Setup, then click “Has DC system”.

Thanks Andy for the clear explanation, now I know what I'm going to do today! 🙂

That's cool that someone has finally been able to make software that is simple and user friendly. I tip my hat to Kevin for doing so👍

In my caravan, I have 4 Ruuvi's, fridge, freezer, inside and outside temperatures. Also bought and installed the Bluetooth gas sensor (Mopeka) - magnetic, on the bottom of a LPG gas cylinder. Now that is also displayed!

I'm your new subscriber from Indonesia, I'm just learning to make electricity for the house from solar panels, I hope I can learn a lot from your amazing channel

Elejoy is nice to have so you can test your solar panels but it can be difficult sometimes to see in the sunlight with the new but with the other screen you could see it pretty good whether you was in sunlight or not. So hopefully people that test their solar panels with one of these Elejoy can get behind the solar panels with a little bit of shade so they can see the screen a little bit better. I meant you can still see the screen but not as good as if you was in a darkened room. Thank you I am a big fan Andy. Love your work.
