[Nut-upsuser] Ablerex 625L USB version

[Jon Gough]

Peter,
    I have had a look at the threads you mentioned and have tried the 
Serial over USB thing, but I get segmentation faults. I get a 
slightly different answer to what is mentioned, in that most of the 
values come back as

Can't retrieve Report 1 (75): Value too large for defined data type
Path: 00860004.Flow.FlowID, Type: Feature
Path: 00860004.Flow., Type: Feature
Can't retrieve Report 1 (75): Value too large for defined data type
Path: 00860004.Flow.ConfigVoltage, Type: Feature

when I use the -x explore feature of newhidups .

Using the newhidups subdriver I only get 0.0000 for a few of the 
settings that are supposed to be possible.

    I am currently trying to contact Ablerex to see if they will give 
me the specification of their interface. I am also talking to the 
supplier to the UPS, but they only seem to work with Windows for UPS 
and  I don't think they wrote the drivers. I was hoping that someone 
on this list had taken the next step in the process of making a generic driver.

    My coding and understanding is not really good enough to 
contribute much in the way of drivers for this, although I have been 
playing around for a couple of days gaining in understanding if not output.

Regards
    Jon
