Hello, and welcome (again) :) > ...That [driver] executable will talk to the hardware in whatever way it sees fit, and to nut over the UNIX socket/pipe. It does sound architecturally feasible, at least, no? This is more or less what NUT drivers themselves do, so yes - quite feasible.

Hello all, Now that I am subscribed to the list I can reply at last :) Kelly, thank you for the comprehensive write-up and pointers to sources and the Arduino lib and example. This took me into a rabbit hole and I've spent entirely too many hours browsing through the NUT sources and

Hello all, I think there was a very good reply about an Arduino-based controller for a DIY UPS here. The project you posted to, with an Arduino presenting as a Megatec protocol server, also seems interesting. Here I'd like to reply to one point not covered before - DMF. As a short and quick

Hi Kelly - As an Arduino nerd, I am interested in this! I am sure others on the list would be interested. If nothing else, it would be nice to have some documentation in the archives. I assume you set it up as an online system rather than a standby system. Right? If true, then the

I put together my own DIY UPS, it's a RV charger/converter, an inverter, and some batteries. I use an Arduino and the HIDPowerDevice library ( https://github.com/abratchik/HIDPowerDevice) to get it to talk to NUT. Been working great for months! The Arduino is connected to two modules: * AC

Hello, I found out about NUT just days ago while searching for a solution for my home setup. After some digging through the interwebs, I come to you with questions. I'm putting together a DIY 12V UPS, very similar to what this guy did: [1]
