Post by: Vick on March 07, 2007, 05:56:43 pm

Hello SK! Great Juke software :)Thanks for sharing your program!!
I would like to know if you could connect a lcd to printer port.So that you dont need a big monitor.

Ok so no replies? That strange looks like I'm an idiot ;D.Just think about this for a moment.I build i SK Jukebox with coin mech and tested by a function.Then the 20inch packed up.So you sit with something that still play but no screen to look at.We had to guess what to play :P How embarrassing . :P I have Jukeboxes that works with lcd 16x2 display and jukes with 7 segment display x 3.One for Credits! One for disc! One for track.All I'm asking is.Cant you get a program that can run with SK jukebox that can also display "Insert coin" When inserted shows the amount of credits.When you select what you want to play it just count down the credit and shows disk number and track number that you select.I know that I can connect the lcd 16x2 to the printer port ;) , but what then ? I need a program or something to take care about that where to begin.SK can you do it?

Regards Vick

SKjuke is very screen oriented and does not as far as I know have a LCD option or feature.   Check the wikki to see what juke programs support an simple LCD interface.    Something as simple as winamp can support and LCD but not sure if you can find a plugin for credits.

Go to the examples page at www.arcadecontrols.com (http://www.arcadecontrols.com) and look at the various juke projects.   The only commercially available plans that I know of are from mameroom http://www.mameroom.com/product_VirtualJukebox.asp (http://www.mameroom.com/product_VirtualJukebox.asp)
