I wrote a complete POS in GAMBAS but the cash drawer was connected to the parallell device.. however, I did dump text to an LED pole display, to show the customer how much they owed and the change due etc. Should be fairly similar, knowing the control codes to send to the cash drawer might be the difficult part (might not be well documented).
PUBLIC SUB OutputToPoleDisplay(pOutputString AS String) DIM ShellString AS String ClearPoleDisplay ShellString = "echo -ne \"" & pOutputString & "\" > /dev/ttyS0" SHELL ShellString WAIT END PUBLIC SUB ClearPoleDisplay() SHELL "echo -ne \"\n\n\n\" > /dev/ttyS0" WAIT END Regards Steve :) Leo Sendra wrote: > Hi all, I want to ask..
