BETABRITE SCROLL LED SIGN IN ARCADE OS
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.
Netcat:
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.
