Arjen is currently on holidays, but he would ask for testing the blazer support. this blazer drivers will soon replace the megatec ones. so please, if you can, do some testing of the development version. if you also have a USB port, try the *_usb equivalent too. thanks for your contrib, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Nut-upsuser] blazer_ser driver / (brand)Inform (series)Informer Compact
2009/8/9 Mutlu T. <cmtunc at gmail.com>> Hi Arnaud, >Hi Mutlu, first, please keep the list cc'ed. other people might be interested (including Arjen when he will get back from vacation)...> I checked out development branch (2.5) from SVN [/] [trunk/] [drivers/] > [blazer_ser.c] - Rev 1804 and driver version turned out as below; > > #define DRIVER_NAME "Megatec/Q1 protocol serial driver" > #define DRIVER_VERSION "1.51" > > Since same version of the driver was already installed, I quickly switched > driver to blazer_ser and performed same tests as before and voila, works > like a charm.

I've updated the driver.list entry to mention blazer_ser too note that, according to your attached file, Arjen will probably be interested in a debug output. ie /path/to/blazer_ser -DDDDD -a inform this will help in fixing the empty ups.{mfr,model} and some more. cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
