Title: Bill Validator & Processor Frequency Question
Post by: dismirlian on March 18, 2011, 01:06:21 PM
Hello, this is my first post to NLG.

Browsing the SP & ST List, I noticed two Bill Validator protocol IDs apart from ID022 and ID023: versions "ID 2.4" and "ID 2.5". Are these aliases for ID022 and ID023, or are they totally different protocols?

Also, another question: If I want to use a 10MHz SP chip in a 16MHz motherboard, will it be enough to change the crystal to 10MHz?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,
Diego.

It may or may not work.
one thing that I do not think will not work is sound, since the 16Mhz board uses software volume control, and the 10 has a physical volume control.

Diego,
To be on the safe side, I'd seriously recommend that you just find
a cheap 10MHz MPU board on ebay or place an ad here in the "Classifieds" section of NLG -
instead of screwing around with the IC components on an16MHz MPU board!   :182-
At least you can be assured that you won't burn anything up. :98-
There are many more differences between the 10MHz and 16 MHz boards besides the crystal... :214-

Dear Foster and stayouttadabunker, thanks for your answers!

Any clues as to "ID 2.5"?

Thanks again,
Diego.
