[Nut-upsdev] tripplite_usb and Omni1000

[Brandon Siegel]

As I understand it from looking through the archives of this mailing
list and the source for the driver, tripplite_usb should work for this
device. I tried to go through the source as best I could to see if I
could add support myself, but got a bit lost.

Anyhow, here's hoping that someone has some experience with this model.
My system is using the latest CVS checkout of the Development branch (as
of this message), and libusb(-dev) packages version 0.1.11-6. The system
uses GCC 4.0 to compile. Here is the output of ./tripplite_usb -DDDDD
/dev/usb/hiddev0:

Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite OMNIVS and SMARTPRO driver 0.6 (2.1.0)

Also, as I was reading through the source, I found a notation that some
events were unknown as to their function. Here are the functions of the
ones I could figure out (for the OMNI1000 LCD):

8400d0: 0 when on battery, 1 when on wall power
84004b: 0 when on wall power and battery (sorry, not much help on this
one)
840045: 1 when on battery and also 1 immediately after wall power is
restored, but changes to 0 after about 5-10 seconds
840044: 0 when on battery and also 0 immediately after wall power is
restored, but changes to 1 after about 5-10 seconds

I noticed that immediately after wall power was restored, the LCD
displayed voltage level of 122 volts. I suspect it is possible that the
changing of those last two after a few seconds may involve automatic
voltage regulation, or perhaps when the battery is charging.

This is all I can give you for now. If you can think of anything else
for me to try that will help you, please let me know.
