[Nut-upsdev] Help with USB support for a Kebo UPS-650D

[Andrew Dancy]

Peter,

Thanks for that. Managed to recompile the drivers after hacking about with
Makefiles a bit (brings back all the bad memories from my younger days when
I was mad enough to try playing around with C compilation on Linux for fun!)

I now get the following...

[root at beeblebrox nut]# /usr/local/ups/bin/newhidups -DDDDD /dev/usb/hiddev0
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.1.0)

I've followed the instructions at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2005-July/000084.html
to ensure it's not a hotplug issue and I still get the same problem.

Any ideas? I'm considering solving the problem by buying another UPS which
does have proper Linux support and then using the Kebo UPS on my Windows
kit, where I can use the PowerManager software. However, I'm a cheapskate so
if there's a way of getting the current UPS to work with Linux then I'll
take it!

Regards,

Andrew
