[Nut-upsuser] Blazer_usb driver almost supports Centralion Titan Elite, but not quite
Hello,
I have a UPS branded as "Energit MXE II" that comes with the infamous
Winpower software (as already discussed in this old thread
<http://nut-upsdev.alioth.debian.narkive.com/m0FWk43o/blazer-usb-compatibility-with-ippon-backpro-upses-phoenix-power-co-ltd-usb-to-serial-controller>).
This same UPS appears to be sold as "Centralion Titan Elite" and maybe
other names too.
My system runs Kubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I got some recent NUT version from this
ppa
<https://launchpad.net/~dobey/+archive/ubuntu/systools/+sourcepub/6062635/+listing-archive-extra>
so
I currently have a package called
nut-server_2.7.3.1+r2547.1~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb . The official one from
Ubuntu doesn't work with my UPS.
Now, this version almost works. The problem is that it's constantly losing
connection with the UPS because it keeps falling off the bus and coming
back immediately (under a different device number). On /var/log/syslog I
have block after block of this, each precisely separated by the same time
interval (which gets longer if pollinterval grows):

Feb 17 06:12:52 myhost mtp-probe: bus: 3, device: 41 was not an MTP device
I tried using the synchronous, novendor and norating settings, to no avail.
I also tried a longer pollinterval but that just makes it take longer to
reconnect. Here's my ups.conf:
[energit]
driver = blazer_usb
port = auto
desc = "Energit MXE II (Centralion Titan Elite)"
vendorid = "06da"
productid = "0201"
subdriver = "phoenix"
protocol = "megatec"
synchronous = yes
novendor = enabled
norating = enabled
pollinterval = "10"
I tried all the available protocols and subdrivers, and this combination
seems to be the one that gets more values.
Here's the driver's debuging output:

So it seems to be able to read eight 8-bytes blocks but then fails to read
the ninth block (not that this data makes sense to me, since it gets all
zeroes). Now, I'm not sure I understand what was discussed in the old
thread I referenced above, but there seemed to be some issue with trying to
read more than 64 bytes, which seems suspicious because that's the same
thing happening here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Nut-upsuser] Blazer_usb driver almost supports Centralion Titan Elite, but not quite
Can you please switch to driver 'nutdrv_qx' with all the optional settings (vendorid, productid, subdriver, protocol, synchronous, novendor, norating, pollinterval) removed and report back?
