[Nut-upsuser] request - nutdrv_qx_megatec.c: update/fix the code for "new" UPS
Hi Jim, I am afraid that the main problem is in '%.1f' in the "lookup table" when UPS returns "--.-" (string) instead of "12.3" (float): root at OpenWrt:~# printf '%.1f \n' "12.3" 12.3 root at OpenWrt:~# printf '%.1f \n' "--.-" ash: invalid number '--.-' 0.0 I checked source codes at?https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/tree/master/drivers and all these protocols have similar "lookup table": - nutdrv_qx_zinto.c - nutdrv_qx_voltronic-qs.c - nutdrv_qx_q1.c - nutdrv_qx_mustek.c - nutdrv_qx_megatec.c - nutdrv_qx_megatec-old.c - nutdrv_qx_mecer.c - nutdrv_qx_hunnox.c - nutdrv_qx_bestups.c BTW - I already wrote some "basic" code in Python using PyUSB to read desired data from the UPS, but the communication with it is very very bad.?Probably due to the bad the quality of the electronics in it.?Sometimes it returns data with missing initial characters (missing first 8 bytes) so I have to re-read the status, sometimes the communication freezes completely so I have to power-cycle the USB port. ?
