ID023 protocol information, documentation, knowledge

[ersk3]

I am reaching out to anyone that would have information or documentation about the id023 protocol. I am trying to reverse engineer the protocol, in order to make an universal arduino protocol adapter. I have already collected a lot of data and have figured out some, but I don't see the complete picture. Anyone?

MAME emulated the ID022/023 protocol years ago for the PE+ slots but the (virtual) bills are currently not working due to a source code bug (the code worked but was nonsensical so it was cleaned up but broke the emulation in the process). If you download an older version of MAME ( www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html ) like 0.183 the bills are credited on the games once they've been set up with a bill acceptor but in later versions it no longer works and still hasn't been fixed.

Thanks for the info. I will download the older name version to test it. I found and looked at the mame pe plus C file. I see the lines of code that is sending the ID022 and ID023. It's a 15 (16 bit) uart. This I already know. Start bit 50ms, stop bit 90ms, and data in between. (All this is wrong) I can not see however where in the code the data is coming from, how the check sum is calculated, what the next country code is to be, and so on.

ersk3 any luck on getting the ID023 Arduino up and running? I would be very interested, as I am tired of fighting with a pesty bill acceptor that constantly rejects bills and it would be nice to add a button on the side of my machine to add credits.

Yes I got it up and running. It was a lot of work since I had to reverse engineer the entire protocol with no documentation and make both hardware and software to emulate it.

It's discussed here in this thread: https://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=36924.20

Also here is a youtube video of the finished product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqxDQ0dACKA&t=3s

It would be nice if you can share the code and wiring to make this happen with an Arduono, I don’t need a shield to interface with the machine, isn’t the IDO23 just TTL serial? I just want a simple way to inject credits into my machine without farting around with a bill acceptor and picky bills. If you have some documentation and code you are willing to share I would be grateful. My email is djohnson728@gmail.com


Please let me know the bare bones to interface with game board so I may bypass this pain in my ass bill acceptor.

Thank you

I appreciate your interest and thanks for reaching out! I completely understand the challenges with reverce engineering ID023, it's super complex and has a shifting scrambling algorithm with multiple inputs. It's near impossible to reverse engineer. I’ve put a lot of time into developing my solution, and for now, I’m keeping the code specific to my board. However, you should be able to achieve what you want using my board, which also includes an NLG discount. I think this could be a straightforward and efficient alternative for what you're looking to accomplish. Best of luck with your project, and feel free to reach out if you have further questions about the board.

Can you provide a cost to purchase your board as well as a link to purchase the board? Also please acceptable payment methods (i.e. Paypal, Zelle, etc..)
I have the metal DBV power supply, so I assume the wiring to your board comes from the connector that the bill validator plugs into (located behind the transport  on my S+ machine). 
Feel free to provide the info to me via email if you would like at djohnson728@gmail.com

Thank you for all of your help.

I'll send you an email with more information. Best regards Erik Skei
