I just got a Mikon Controller and display - the device reads EMPTY on the screen.

I hooked up a 9pin straight through Male to Female cable from the laptop and ran the PSP 2.0 program.

Depending on which controller I choose (Con1, Con2, Old) I get a communication error.

What am I doing wrong ?

Is this a conI, conII or a supercontroller? The conI and conII controllers will send to the display the messages from files in this order--JP0, JP1, JP0, JP2, JP0, JP3, JP0 and over again. There are dip switch settings to enable an idle message to display untill a coin in is sensed, then it will display the JP amount as entered in JP0.
JP1, JP2, JP3 are used to display lesser jackpots and advertising messages. If they are empty, then only the JP0 amount will be displayed. If the dips are set to display an idle message and there is no message in the message file then you will get an "empty" displayed on the display. Also in the conI and conII programs on the laptop, I think on page 3, there is a setting (F3) that enables MSG for message control. This should be ---. I'm writing this from memory so it may be approxamate. When I go to work tommorrow I will get the dip settings for the conI and conII.

This is easy....There are no dip switches.

There is a 2 positon switch which appears to be on/off as all the LEDs on the board go off when it is in one position.
There is a second 2 position switch which brings up what appears to be a identification setting. Something like GCON=1.
There are then two small touch buttons. One which increment GCON=1 thru GCON=64 and then back to 1.
The second touch button puts it to other screens with simmilar settings and again I can use that first button to increment the values.
Everything is set to 1.
