WakeSpeed WS500 Programming

We've been using the Wakespeed regulators for several years now and know they are the best! In our MT Electrical II course, one of the lab activities is to program the WS500 Advanced Alternator Regulator. This short video shows how easy it is to update firmware & program the regulator. It's possible to do custom programming as well, but we don't go into that far as our new technicians are using readily available standard batteries from manufactures and those profiles are all available on the website: www.wakespeed.com
As always, if you or someone you know is interested in a Marine Technology Program, check us out! We teach people how to fix boats, and be part of a great industry.

Thanks good presentation I am working on a dual Lithium battery setup for my Jeep and told to research Wakespeed Battery Regulator WS500. Doesn’t seem complicate to install even for somebody like myself who isn’t a a wiring expert nor an electrical engineer. You done an outstanding job making it simple to understand even for someone like myself. Thank you! #NewFoundConfidence

For lithium installs it is simple the best (only) choice. Have fun with your project

Very cool that it has specific battery model profiles instead of generic buckets.

More to come - just did 2-day WakeSpeed training @ Marine Tech for our students. the new App is working great, no longer need the PC, yeah!!

[@zenaasura1769]

Really useful thank you very much.

[@SVCSkallywags]

Glad it was helpful! We're going to do some more this next school year

You make it look easy, but it is NOT! Can you go through the step by step process for uploading the firmware to your laptop?
Thanks

Sorry for the delay - out on summer holiday. Wakespeed is making great changes and it will be way easier now using the App, this is 'old' technology now - things change so fast!
