Hi! (first of all, FAQ tells me I should mention "queequeg" :P)
I recently bought the UPS mentioned in the subject, assuming it'd work with Linux somehow, and the protocol will soon be something common -- turns out I was wrong. Website of the UPS: http://www.opti-ups.com/ -> USA -> Click on the big banner when it turns up (turns out I can't like to it directly, probably needs some cookie for the language selection -.-) It came with some "Sentinel" software for Windows. Calling the optiups driver with -h revealed something about a custom cable - before I go soldering, anyone knows what the odds are of this working with this UPS? Before I discovered the help output I also tried all other serial drivers, without any success. Also, what does the red color mean in the compability table? Anything that's not supported, or is it just "you have to solder your own cable but then you should be okay"? On the other hand, if it doesn't work, I might just start trying to reverse-engineer the protocol. Sounds like a nice way to get started with reverse-engineering :) Florian -- () ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail www.asciiribbon.org /\ www.the-compiler.org | I love long mails http://email.is-not-s.ms/ QOTD: Money isn't everything, but at least it keeps the kids in touch.
