  :wave: Hi Foster;
 My work is taking all my time, and unable to reply even with a short message sometimes.
 For me, sending the commands was the first step.
 The second step is receiving the data, I wish to know How to handle the parity error in order to receive messages? I'm looking to use Pc only, and not Arduino or Micro controller based boards.
Thanks in Advance.  :thank_you:

Hi Foster,

I've been reading almost all of you post here and in the old website newlifegaming.net. I was able to experiment with your knowledge that you share here.

kindly share your idea for the command "credit transfer to gaming machine" in AFT transaction.


Thank you and more power!..

My code is in C# for PC Visual Studio 10
You should not get a parity error unless you are not switching from mark to space parity right after sending a general poll to  particular machine, or right after sending the address byte for particular poll as shown in my sample code. I was running it on a AMD 5400+ with Windows 7 and 8. and only would get an error if it could not open the serial port correctly due to an oversight of addressing a none existent port.

Be careful how you much you thread the code. any code dealing with one particular serial port should be 1 thread for both sending (TxD) and receiving (RxD) data.

I have not researched AFT processes but instead use legacy bonus for adding a value to a machine.
I know that AFT requires registering the machine with the AFT host before any AFT tranactions can occur, I was looking into how AFT was done but have not pursued it.

Hello everyone.
I have started researching the IGT SAS protocol for two weeks now, and with the help from nlg forums(thank you!!) and other internet resources, I succeeded mostly to make a  Win Service app.
I have for now a Service application made in .NET , a Ithaca Epic 950 printer connected to a COMport, and a bill acceptor connected to a paylink unit. Now, what my app does :
-it reads the banknotes from the Acceptor and sends the equivalent in credits to the Gaming machine.
-it reads the Bar-code coming from Acceptor and transforms it into credits, then its sending to the gaming machine.
-via SAS protocol it`s reading if the CASHOUT button on the machine was pressed, then reads the current credits and finally resets the Handpay, sending the corresponding credits transformed in cash, to the Ticket printer.
   The cash IN is done via SAS with the legacy BONUS payment.
I was wondering if is there another way to send credits to a machine, other than the legacy bonus payment, if anyone knows.
Anyway, here is a pic of a TEST program for sas( when I was figuring out the protocol). I cannot add a pic of my main application, because ,as i said, is just a Service App, no WinForm on it.
Sorry for my rough english.

LE: I forgot, the communication is done via Serial Port, with a board on PCI  with ASIX driver installed ( it supports 9 bit).
