Right now I'm running into some issues with what I think are the permissions on the USB bus. I can load everything as root and get data from the UPS. I'll run the test as soon as I get the permissions straightened out.
Here's the output from upsc. :/usr/local/ups/bin# ./upsc usbhid-...@localhost battery.charge: 100 battery.runtime: 5760 battery.type: PbAc battery.voltage.nominal: 12.0 device.mfr: Tripp Lite device.model: TRIPP LITE UPS device.serial: FW-2368 B device.type: ups driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.productid: 1008 driver.version: 2.4.1-1995 driver.version.data: TrippLite HID 0.4 driver.version.internal: 0.34 input.voltage.nominal: 120 output.frequency.nominal: 60 output.voltage.nominal: 120 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 20 ups.mfr: Tripp Lite ups.model: TRIPP LITE UPS ups.power.nominal: 550 ups.productid: 1008 ups.serial: FW-2368 B ups.status: OL ups.timer.shutdown: 65535 ups.vendorid: 09ae ups.watchdog.status: 0 On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 7:03 PM, Charles Lepple <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 6:19 PM, Lindsey Chesnutt <[email protected]> > wrote: >> That did it!
