[Nut-upsuser] MGE Nova 1100 using newhidups on netBSD 3.0

Mon Feb 27 09:51:30 UTC 2006

Have recently purchased a MGE Nova 1100 UPS and am trying to get running on
netBSD.

Configuration

netBSD 3.0 amd64

libusb 0.1.10a

nut 2.0.3

Built & installed libusb

Built kernel with ugen device and uhid removed

Build & install nut-2.0.3 with usb

Chmod /dev/ugen1 etc to allow access by nut user.

Ups.conf

[MGENova]

        driver = newhidups

        port = auto

        desc = "MGE Nova 1100 on lamborghini"

        pollinterval=15

upsd.conf

ACL all 0.0.0.0/0

ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

ACCEPT localhost

REJECT all

MAXAGE 20

When start driver it responds

bash-3.1# /usr/pkg/libexec/nut/newhidups  -a MGENova

Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.3)

Detected a UPS: unknown/unknown

Using subdriver: MGE HID 0.8

Upsd responds

bash-3.1# upsd  -f

Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.3

Connected to UPS [MGENova]: newhidups-auto

Synchronizing........ giving up

bash-3.1# upsc MGENova at localhost

Error: Data stale 

If I un-plug and reconnect to the USB cable, give it a couple of seconds and
then try upsc again

Note: Have left it overnight without resetting cable and no data. Can only
get data if I remove and re-connect the USB cable

bash-3.1# upsc MGENova at localhost

I am fairly new to all this, have read all the FAQ's newsgroups but can not
find anything that seems to help.

Any ideas ????

Thanks
