BETABRITE SCROLL LED SIGN IN ARCADE OS

Pages: << < (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 !

I now understand I nned to set the sign to 8N1, my betabrite is model 1040-4402 I am looking very hard but have yet to find out if and how to do this, either that or ARcadeOS modification.
