MYSTAT troubleshooting

[a.rahimzadegan]

Hi,
My name is Ash. I am doing my master thesis in Jülich research center about zinc iodine redox flow battery. I am trying to set up the cell which I got from my supervisor. I think I need more help to connect the cell to the PC. The Problem is that we are not using MYSTAT here. By the way I tried to download the app but I am not sure if that would be the correct one. I would be really helpful if you can help me with introducing the App MYSTAT.

Hi Ash, and welcome!

Apologies for the delay, I just finished moving apartments and was unavailable for several days.

Can you tell me or show me pictures of what equipment you have exactly? Do you have a version of the FBRC cell? The MYSTAT software can only control the MYSTAT potentiostat and an Arduino UNO R3 (used for controlling pump speeds). It can't be used with another brand of potentiostat at this time.

Hi Kirk,

Thanks a lot for your time and I hope that the moving process has worked properly for you. After trying and serarching more, I could get the app, and now I can run the cell correctly. But now I do have a new question: Is it possible to order or buy a new cell setup like what is in the website Flow4U Battery Conference (https://fbrc.dev/posts/Flow4U-conference/) ?

Best wishes
Ash

@a.rahimzadegan, right now the fastest way to get the latest version of the kit is to build it following the instructions at https://fbrc.codeberg.page/rfb-dev-kit/. We would like to sell them eventually but we're not there yet.

It is mostly 3D printable and there is one brass/copper plate that needs to be machined in a simple way, definitely no problem for any university machine shop. We also now have identified pumps/tubing that work much better.
