I downloaded latest source and it compiles ok but the original usbhid-ups.c is unchanged. Pier changed other files, too, and I don't know the changes needed. Simply substituting the modified (as per 2011) usbhid-ups gives a failed connection to the ups. So I have tried a little. I'll uninstall 2.6.3 and try to install 2.7.2 from a fresh compile.
Thanks for the responses so far :-) -- Best wishes, Derek On 18 October 2014 16:03:09 GMT+13:00, Tim Dawson <tadaw...@tpcsvc.com> wrote: >I guess it's kind of a natural response on my part, working >professionally in software.
