BETABRITE SCROLL SIGN IN ARCADE OS
(1/25) > >>
Netcat:
Arcade OS supports serial devices but is hardcoded to 8N1

Is anyone here capable of modifyin the source code (Which is readily available) to modify serial settings to 7E1 (which is necessary for Betabrite 1040)

If you can help please please let me know.

Kindest Regards.

NetCat, excellent job with with Alpha protocol stuff.  I actually tried to run your "betagen" program, but no luck.  I'm running win 2k.  It kept complaining about the LCD directory already existing, even though it didn't.  But, I tried the files you put on your site and they worked like a charm.  And, I'm not sure about your betabrite, but mine supports the standard 9600/8/n/1.  Probably doesn't matter much since we're only sending text, but possibly useful in the future.

Anyway, I'm willling to port your stuff to c.  I'll poke through your code tomorrow during lunch.

Again, great job on the Alpha protocol.  I've been meaning to do this for like a year, but I just never could get myself to read through the protocol document.
Netcat:
I understand my sign cannot be changed but I would be interested in knowing by what means you change yours to 8n1??

Software or hardware

You flater me.

Altough I agree I did a good job with the protocol stuff I must confess I cheated. I really dont understand the protocol, I am however hardheaded &  resourcefull at capturing output  and sending to files, I am also decent at Qbasic so therefore I developen an app taht would open output files scan thru the characters and figure out the ASCII values.


regards.

Didn't require anything special from me.  Just set COM1 to 9600/8/n/1.  What model do you have?  Mine is a 213c.  I'll check my manual if it'll help you at all.
