| BETABRITE SCROLL LED SIGN IN ARCADE OS |
| << < (2/7) > >> |
| Netcat:
Kinda. Except I am working in DOS using Arcade OS (DOS Based frontend) I am under the impression you are running under WIndows ???? If you nned info on generating proper CHaracter sequences to send text to SIgn I can help you with. Sending the data to the signs is another matter the Frontend you are usign must support it. ArcadeOS does support sending data to a seiral port (somewhat) I suspect some of the settings are hardcoded into Arcade os i.e. Stop Bits & Parity and therefore the data is not acknowledged by the sign when it is sent. ALl of this is of course in the realm of theory. if someon e here knows how to look into the SOurce code and could tell me, that would be great. |

AHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Found the following information in the AOS_MAN.DOC file Note: Any Serial Device must be configured for 8 data-bits, 1 start-bit, 1 stop-bit and no parity. BAUD rate is configured in the arcadeos.cfg file Therefore either I figure a way to reconfigure these settings within the sign (No Jumpers here!) or I find someon able to modify arcade os. Help ! |
