Make Firmware Public

[Rogash1]

I own a UPSPlus for a while now and face several issues with it. I really want to like the product, but the firmware behaves very strangely and a lot of functionality is not appropriately documented. Can you give us the source code of the main microcontroller so the community is able to fix the issues?

This could be the saving grace for this device. I believe people could fix up some basic issues or add use cases them selves. If only the source of firmware of the UPS plus controller was available.

We're not reluctant to release the firmware source code. It's because this involves power management, and we're concerned that users might modify the firmware privately, leading to device damage or even fire hazards. That's why it's not open to the public. However, feel free to raise any issues you encounter, and we'll see if we can assist you in resolving them.

The problem is that the product is unusable for some, because of this power issue #121.
If you would implement a function where the battery would be charged to a reasonable voltage before powering on the raspberry via BACK-TO-AC function I would not have any reason to touch the firmware of UPS plus.
I really like the product, just this software issue makes it unusable and 8 UPSplus boards are just gathering dust in my shelf.
