Greetings:
I've been following through the instructions on how to connect an APC
BackUPS 650 ES to USB, and have it monitored with NUT...
I know my system can SEE the UPS, as DMESG shows this:
hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [APC Back-UPS ES 650 FW:818.w1.D USB FW:w1]
on usb-0000:00:04.2-1
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver
I can see an entry in /dev/usb called hiddev0
I have updated my ups.conf file as follows:
[apc]
driver = newhidups
port = /dev/usb/hiddev0
desc = "APC Back-UPS ES 650"
Note, that port used to be set to auto, but in deperation, I hardcoded it..
I'm running kernel version 2.6.17.3, and have libusb-0.1.so.4.4.0
libraries installed.
I cannot see anything in /proc/bus/usb.
When I try to run newhidups, I get:
root@excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4# ./drivers/newhidups -a apc -u root
/dev/usb/hiddev0
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4)
No matching USB/HID UPS found
root@excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4# ./drivers/newhidups -a apc -u root
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4)
No matching USB/HID UPS found
root@excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4#
Can anyone suggest a course of action I can take?..
Thanks kindly,
Richard.

These scripts are there to set the right permissions on the dev file upon {cold,hot}plugging. finally note that newhidups is the way to go since it will fully replace hidups by nut 2.2 Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ OpenSource Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/

The same combinations are quite happy to run with USB-serial dongles and apcsmart -a ttyUSB0. We haven't had time to investigate...> root@excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4# ./drivers/newhidups -a apc -u root > Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4) > > No matching USB/HID UPS found > root@excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.4# > > Can anyone suggest a course of action I can take?Crank up the -D level and/or run it under strace? -- Dr George D M Ross, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh Kings Buildings, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH9 3JZ Mail: gdmr@inf.ed.ac.uk Voice: +44 131 650 5147 Fax: +44 131 667 7209 PGP: 1024D/AD758CC5 B91E D430 1E0D 5883 EF6A 426C B676 5C2B AD75 8CC5 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
