Coin Mech Power Dilemma!!
Steve:
What coin acceptor is it ? (model number) or picture of label...

Hi Steve,
I've been alternating between an SR5 and an SR5i. The SR5i has an LED which proves power is actually getting through.
I've been doing a little research and I've heard it could be down to the serial cable I've been using. Apparently an "ser2pt.sys" could work? - It just seems like one problem after another but I'm remaining persistent! The PC knows which port the coin mech is connected to, and the power light is on - that's keeping me optimistic!
PMiddy001:
The operating system is Windows XP. Could the problems be down to the type of serial cable I've used? - Would there be a difference between a 2.0 and a 3.0 for instance? As Brian only stated it was a serial cable, I simply searched Amazon for something that looked similar with the same "ends" as which were shown on the video. It looked like one that was described as a TTL cable. I don't even know what TTL stands for, but that's the one I got. Money's no object, I'd just love to get this machine accepting coins.
PMiddy001:
Whenever I hit a dead-end, the LED on the SR5i usually blinks from green to red - if that means anything? I'll upload a video of the "sequence of unfortunate events" before bed and post the link!
