Sure, actually I rechecked blazer_usb after Arjen's mail. Well, it is not really working but it can read Q1 response at least! I didn't notice this previously because the driver then tries to reconnect infinitely and produces lots of output. I'll investigate it. -- Alexander ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
Re: [Nut-upsuser] megatec_usb vs Mustek NetGuard / Ippon SmartWinner problem
Citeren Arnaud Quette : > Alex, be sure to also address blazer_usb since it's the long run approach. It will already work with this UPS. The problem is in the way how the phoenix subdriver in megatec_usb deals with reading data from the UPS. Currently, it reads data until it receives a timeout or the supplied buffer is full. This will work for most devices, but not all. The proper way to do this (implemented in blazer_usb) is to read until either - a read for an eight byte chunk of data times out (which is a timeout error) - the number of requested characters is read - a '\r' character is read (characters following this should be discarded) Also note that currently reading partial data (less data was read than requested) is broken in megatec_usb. Especially Mustek devices often seem to return 7 characters, when we requested 8.

Indeed, megatec_usb currently fails to talk to this device. Fortunately, I've recently received a unit with the same interface (thanks Arnaud) so I'll fix the driver soon. -- Alexander ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

[...] Try the 'blazer_usb' driver instead. Make sure to read 'man 8 blazer', since there are quite a couple of differences in what the driver reports by default and what needs to be configured in 'ups.conf'.
