is there a way to turn  off the sound of the ticket being inserted in the slot machine? cant seem to find that option?

Wouldn't that be under money volume
in the sound option menu.

But back to the main topic:
Following this thread with great interest
Great work guys..I'll wait till you all work out the bugs
and find the cheapest way before I DIVE IN......

I've also been following this. Got some questions.
Do you need to hook up to computer to set up?
After set up do you need computer?
Can you take ticket from one machine & put into another machine?

Computer is only needed to compile and program the Amicus18.  Once that's done, no need for a computer.  The Amicus18 and the Max232 connected to the slot machine is it.  As you can tell, I'm chomping at the bit to get my hardware in and get everything connected up.  Wink

Bill validators need to be up to the latest version as well, or at the very least need to read the latest 5's and 10's from what Munch and TZ mentioned.  Getting my WBA's flashed to 3.80 this week for this project.

TZ, for me, I probably wouldn't use it much.  I like plugging bills, tokens/coins, and coming to a theater near you...tickets!!!  Smiley

Quick question...

Should the USB power adapter for the Amicus18 be plugged into the power receptacle inside of the machine or should it be plugged in to an external power surge protector with the USB cable running in from the back of the machine?  Perhaps it doesn't matter?

Thanks,
Jason

Recieved the other generic developement board today.
This looks like the best candidate for the job.

Pros
Better voltage regulator design than previous board
Mounting holes for PCB standoffs
USA Availability (From sparkfun)

Cons
Bigger than previous board
Some soldering required on board

Gents, any suggestions on placement of these boards inside of the machine?  Since there aren't any factory mounting holes/studs, can they just lay on a shelf or the floor of the machine?  Double sided tape or Velcro to a wall?  Wink

Thoughts?

The error in the ticket amount has to do with the fact they are encoding the amount into the ticket
What happened to you has has happened to me as well when using system validation
Note BV misread the bar code of the ticket number and not a communication error.
if the ticket number from the machine does not match the ticket number from the computer or the micro controller then the machine should reject and return the ticket to player.

Basically it is an error inside the BV that caused it.

Could the read error be something like $1000.00 in at 0.25 being 4000 credits ?

Will this system work in a S+ as well ?

Gents,

I have an update:

Today I received both of my Amicus18's the Max232's and connection cables.  Munch and I have been working together throughout the day and I've got it narrowed down to the following:

I have an S2000 with a WBA 12 SS transport (3.80 firmware) and 12 bill head.  This combination IS NOT working with TITO.
I have a 3902 Game King 5.3P with a WBA 12 SS transport (3.80 firmware) and 11 bill head.  This setup IS working with TITO.

What it has come down to is the WBA.  If I switch the transports in the machines, the problem follows the transport.  The machines work fine, so we know the settings are correct in the machines, and that the Amicus/Max232 hardware is working.

The WBA with the 11 bill head works fine.  The WBA with the 12 bill head does not work.  Can the bill head be removed and switched?  If so, any procedure on how to do this?  Am I going to need to buy a new WBA 12 transport with an 11 bill head?  An important note...the problematic 12 bill head does eat real money fine...it just doesn't like TITO for some reason.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jason

As far as I know all the heads are the same, I swap mine when I'm testing,
The heads are usually tagged to match the transport, are the switches set to accept tickets
I believe switch 1 needs to be off, compare the switches with your working setup and make them the same

DIP Switch
Number Denomination Setting Meaning
1 Barcode Ticket OFF Accept
Barcode Ticket ON Reject
2 $1 OFF Accept
$1 ON Reject
3 $5 OFF Accept
$5 ON Reject
4 $10 OFF Accept
$10 ON Reject
5 $20 OFF Accept
$20 ON Reject
6 $50 OFF Accept
$50 ON Reject
7 $100 OFF Accept
$100 ON Reject
8 Off OFF Accept
Test Mode ON Reject

Jay - for S+/PE+ I have seen a outputs for a printer on the schematics but have never come across SW or seen a printer that fits in these but then again TITO nver took off on this side of the world.
The project was initially developed on a PE+ so adding credits via service button and serial bridge commands should work on S+ as well.

As far as the BV's go it could be as simple as the BCR optic beieng dirty or faulty - I think there is software available on the JCM site that allowsYou to connect BV to PC to check sensors.

TZ, even if the one with the 12 bill head is taking bills fine, there's a separate optic for tickets?
