Greetings All, I'm new to the list and am not sure this is where to start. I have a recently purchased a CyberPower CP1350AVRLCD UPS. I would like to get this UPS up and running via it's USB interface on Ubuntu 8.10 x64. I have tried the available USB driver (usbhid-ups) and the drive was unable to identify the UPS. I have some old and outdated programming experience and would be glad to try to try to code up the support for this UPS. However, I believe I ran across some documentation stating that a new approach was going to be used for supporting USB UPS devices in the future. I need some guidance on where to start. Should I use the existing usbhid-ups as starting place to build from or..... any help greatly appreciated. Dave

Chances are that the device is already supported by an existing driver and that all that is missing is the correct VendorID:ProductID combination to get it supported. It also helps if you post the version of NUT you have been using. If this is not the latest stable version (nut-2.2.2) or development version (SVN trunk), upgrading sometimes is all that it takes to get it up and running.

If it isn't, chances are that the permissions aren't setup correctly (which would be an Ubuntu packaging bug, we can't fix that for you). You can verify this by running the driver as root usbhid-ups -DDD -u root -a <upsname> Best regards, Arjen -- Please keep list traffic on the list
