Hi!<br>
<br>
Here is my Debug (-DDDD) output of mge-utalk during the malfunction.
Do you want to capture new one (when it works)?<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
Ivo<br>

have an old ESV8 UPS down here, and I did code

is your ESV8 still working?</blockquote>
</div>
For sure :)<br>
This UPS is strong! By now, it is 18 years old :O</blockquote>

made to last until the end of time ;)<br>
ah, good ol' MGE time.</div>

I got some bad effect, like Debian bug you mentionned
on your email.<br>
<br>
Would be difficult for me to gain access to an ESV8+,
but we can work<br>
together to test.</blockquote>
even to me. all this goes back to MGE time, now defunct
for 5 years.<br>
the only things that survived is the Comet and E Series
DX (see below)</blockquote>
</div>
I may have access to an old ESV8+. I gave one to a friend of
mine, years ago.</blockquote>
<div><br>
that would be nice</div>

you send me your<br>
debug log?</blockquote>
I think I've found a Comet and a E Series DX (so
speaking UTalk) at Eaton today.<br>
this is the kind of things that becomes rare nowadays!<br>
<br>
on the patch side, I'd also like to:<br>
- add some more inter-char delay, since mge_command()
only has 100 ms.<br>
I've just checked again Utalk spec [1], and we should be
at least 500<br>
ms between commands.<br>
the point here is that this inter-char delay is not
satisfied with<br>
commands that do not receive an answer (such as Z)</blockquote>
</div>
Interesting. If we are hearing too fast, it's not that good.</blockquote>
<div><br>
we're *talking* too fast actually ;)</div>

not sure to get your point!? we still ignore the result of
mge_command(... Z)</div>

the result of Marek's mention, i.e moving the double Z
before the Si test.</blockquote>
</div>
For sure. I dig on my archives, and found a serial spy log
taken on Windows between PSP and ESV8.<br>
Z is send twice, then AX 1, then SI 1.</blockquote>

yep, with 500 ms inter-commands... I still have access to
that code ;)</div>

I worked a lot to make support of programmable outlets. By
now, it is not supported (even for recent UPS, working on
usb-hid). I may test and patch.<br>
<br>
@Ivo: could you send me your log file?<span class="HOEnZb"><span

<br>
@Martin: how do you want to proceed on the UTalk issue?<br>
I can either provide a (set of) patch(es), or few directions...<br

<br>
</blockquote>
<p>Let's wait Ivo's answer and log files. Then, I'll try to fix
it. Then we test it, and validate on severals UPS. If OK, I'let
you publish patch Arnaud.</p>
<p>If I have some time, I can work on programmable outlet, with
limited support to onboard one (no external outlet plugged in
daisy chain).</p>
