I wanted to add the Victron Cerbo GX to the off-grid solar powered ham radio camper trailer project. Sadly the Victron Cerbo GX and Victron touchscreen were too expensive. So instead, I found the Elecrow 7 inch touchscreen and a raspberry pi. Combined with the Victron Venus OS, I was able to build my own battery management system for a fraction of the price. All I needed was a Cerbo compatible touchscreen, a raspberry pi, and a Victron Smart Shunt to get it all working.
