Title: Cham with a con2? Post by: Mirage_Chaser on September 05, 2013, 05:23:17 PM Any one know of a way to get a cham display controller to work with a con2 super controller??

Title: Re: Cham with a con2? Post by: idesign on September 05, 2013, 05:55:57 PM CHAMM2 works perfectly with a CON2. What is your problem?
Title: Re: Cham with a con2? Post by: Mirage_Chaser on September 05, 2013, 07:25:38 PM My problem is its not a cham2. Can I use the display from a Cham with a Cham 2 controller?

No you can not as Rick says above. Title: Re: Cham with a con2? Post by: harp on September 05, 2013, 07:41:53 PM Yes you can use a CON2 with a CHAM1 what you will need is a Gateway
Gateway Interface Boards and Software SUMMARY OF GATEWAY SOFTWARE GW: Current versions include SINFO. GWI: Gateway software used to communicate Serial Return to IGT machines from CON1 controllers. GW2: Allows CON2 controllers to communicate with CHAMI displays. JP Groups 0 – 3 are available for display. Requires CHAM1 v7.15 and PRC (Progressive Chip Controller v6.1 or greater) software.

I think I gave up on the gateway after I could never find one. I just found it was cheaper to buy used cham2 hardware than to locate one of those.
Title: Re: Cham with a con2? Post by: idesign on September 05, 2013, 09:35:58 PM I bought a Gateway some time ago thinking I would do that but ended up going the CHAMM2 route. I have no idea how to hook it up but if you want it I will let it go cheap. PM me.
Title: Re: Cham with a con2? Post by: Mirage_Chaser on September 06, 2013, 10:59:50 AM I have cham2 hardware so I probably won't need the gateway, thanks for the offer though. I do however want to clarify something for myself.
Can I use the RGY meter (not the cham1 driver) from the old sign with the new cham2 board? Or is that using a different protocol also? Title: Re: Cham with a con2? Post by: rickhunter on September 06, 2013, 11:43:17 AM It is a different connector. I've never tried it, but the logic seems to be totally different.
