Nut upsuser - Aug 2011 - Possible support for Trust 1300VA LCD Management UPS?

I'm totally new to this, so heres hoping i can give you the info you need
...

I have a new Trust usb UPS hooked up to my iMac (running Lion)

The UPS shows up in the system report with the following info:
  Product ID:	0x0003
  Vendor ID:	0x06da  (Phoenixtec Power Co., Ltd.)
  Version:	5.01
  Speed:	Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer:	CTN
  Location ID:	0xfa144400 / 10
  Current Available (mA):	500
  Current Required (mA):	100


I have tried the following NUT drivers (all of them?), but none can connect to
the UPS:

blazer_usb
usbhid-ups
bcmxcp_usb
richcomm_usb
tripplite_usb

Any suggestions? 

Thanks in advance,

David

this model (USB 0x06da:0x0003) is supported by blazer_usb, since NUT 2.4.2.

so, which version of NUT are you using?
and what is the debug message with blazer_usb?
ie, using:
$ /path/to/blazer_usb -DDD -a <devname>

cheers,
Arnaud

Hi David,

first, please keep the list posted. It's also probably better to use the
users list, instead of the developers one...

Charles may have an idea on that, since he's somehow our Apple expert.
I would like to know which libusb version is used (ie, 0.1 or 1.0).

cheers,
Arnaud

(currently 0.1.12) or by the compatibility layer of libusb-1.0. Can you check on
that version number?

Charles, thank you for your reply. My developer skills are beyond rusty and
i'm new to the osx environment, but I hope I can answer your questions
correctly.

First off, here is everything macports knows about usb:

usbprog                        @0.1.8          cross/usbprog
libusb                         @1.0.8          devel/libusb
libusb-compat                  @0.1.3          devel/libusb-compat
libusb-devel                   @1.0.8.20101017 devel/libusb-devel
libusb-legacy                  @0.1.12         devel/libusb-legacy
usbmuxd                        @1.0.7          devel/usbmuxd
py26-pyusb                     @0.4.2          python/py26-pyusb
py26-pyusb-devel               @1.0.0-a1       python/py26-pyusb-devel
py27-pyusb-devel               @1.0.0-a1       python/py27-pyusb-devel

Secondly, I am executing everything via Terminal (I dont know how to ssh stuff
to be honest).

Hope that helps.
Dave
