Hi,
I have a bunch of UPSs, most connected to pcs with Linux working 100% with
NUT.
The only one I have a problem with, is connected to Windows 7 64bit, and I
used the straight MSI installed from the website
named NUT-Installer-2.6.5-4.msi
Took me a while to find a way to get it to work, but it is ugly for now.
Just starting up the service results in a NUT not working at all, and I
tracked it down to the blazer_ser driver not finding the UPS. Debugging
shows some problem with the communication on my serial-usb port. What I
have found is, that it doesn't work until I add 4x debug flags. eg: -DDDD
Here is a copy of my ups.conf:
[myups]
driver = blazer_ser
port = com6
desc = "Proline UPS"
Here is the output from blazer_ser not working:

At this point I can start upsd manually and then finally it works:

What I don't understand is, what the driver does different with -DDDD vs
-DDD or less D flags. But I am pretty certain that small difference in the
code could fix this driver working for me in Windows without debugging,
like it does on Linux (Ubuntu).
Thank you in advance,
