AK5 not talking to PC
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 12:09 am
Hello all,
I have installed the AK5 and installed the latest Kiosk software. The AK5 is trained to see my coins and the Kiosk software is acting exactly as I want it to in test mode. BUT...everytime I insert a coin the AK5 displays an E and howls at me for 30 seconds or so. If I insert a coin not programmed it is rejected as it shouls and no alarm. This is the same behaviour I get when the RS232 cable is disconnected. Com 1 is being used (and since there is no other software I assume by the coinop service). I have to assume the connection is no good between the AK5 and the PC. Are there certain settings I need for Com 1? Is a standard RS232 cable good for this application (the two instuction sheets conflict in this regard). I hope we can have this resolved soon because otherwise it seems like a great product, but I need to install it soon.
