Title: Got Andys program to work with Unidesa.
Post by: SLOTMAN on November 05, 2011, 04:37:12 PM
Hello, I just want to share my progress on the very beginning of a TITO system.  Although I have a assortment of machines I decided to play around with the Unidesa for a few reasons.  They have SAS pretty much integrated without any optional boards.  There is a DB9 connector so no need for any type of special harness.  The hookup was pretty straight forward.  After getting Andy's program finally running and working (.DLL issues) I tried to communicate directly through the serial port of a old thinkpad computer.  It worked intermittently.  After playing with parity it still did the same.  I tried a Keyspan RS232 to USB and it seems to work a lot better.  I believe I have the parity correct.

My advice for what it is worth is Keyspan converters seem to work.

I ran through a few actions and they seemed to register.  Then the finale came!!! I tried the legacy bonus and IT WORKED!!!! From 1 credit to 1000 credits.  It worked like a champ.

I will keep posted of the progress.

I attached a dbmon log if anyone wants to look at it.
