As it runs on Windows, it is able to communicate with the PL8 charger through both Bluetooth or USB cable. If you do not have BT yet, you still can use it with your USB cable. This is an initial version, let me know if you want to add more features or more sophisticated graphs.
Link to install the app (from Windows Store):

Win10 Ltsc allows installing Windows Store.

Or similar.
You provide it 5V and 0V. From inside the PL8 via a power supply like this: Or similar. Connect its input to the PL8 input wires by soldering to the board. Feed its 5V to the BT boards 5V and 0V above. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-6S-Step-Do ... SwEOhfl8yJ
Then you need one small low drop diode. To connect the SEND and RECEIVE down 1 wire. And also the plus and minus 5V down a normal servo wire to outside the case. With a small wire loop. The BT and regulator stay inside the PL8. The wire is a loop that plugs into where the PL8 has its 3 pin ouput.
and supplying the power supply from the PL8 is that from the PL8's power supply input?
