[Nut-upsuser] nutdrv_qx - Device not supported

[Nick Mayerhofer]

Hi Tom,
please find my working (cropped) configs for the raspberyPi enclosed,
all located at /usr/local/ups/etc/<file>.
Not included (but necessary) /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users, upsmon.conf,
upssched.conf

For a quick start:
- preinstall the NUT dependencies (e.g. by installing NUT via apt-get)
-- I changed the GROUP of the concerning
/etc/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules entry from "nobody" to "plugdev".
Like "ATTR{idVendor}=="0665", ATTR{idProduct}=="5161", MODE="0666",
GROUP="plugdev"
- setup the configs (attached)
- git checkout the repository from zykh (or my one
https://github.com/nickma82/nut/tree/nutdrv_qx_voltronic-sunny_rebased+command)
- cd into <yourNutFolder>/
-- compile it (best case through a simple make)
- cd into <yourNutFolder>/drivers/
-- ./nutdrv_qx -DDDD -a voltronic
-- it should start up with something like the startUpExampleLogs.txt

Good luck, Nick
