[Nut-upsuser] NUT 2.0.4 driver for CP1200AVR

2006-09-01 Thread Rob
I took the modifications from doug reynolds, ported them to 2.0.4, and tried to make it more generic such that it would work for all old devices as well as the new CP1200AVR. I don't necessarily like the implementation because I don't like global vars, but it was what I could come up with with

I think that you will find that the Halogen lights did the trick. The "dirty" part of the power often comes from the unloaded generator having fluctuations or overvoltage. Cheaper designs tend to have a higher unloaded voltage and often a deformed wave pattern until loaded with a resistive load. Th
