An SCS/Arduino project used in a TV add

A project I worked on with Leviathan Workshop I did the custom LED control, plus token insertion and button pushing detection all automated and controlled by SCS which did the reel animations (the only human intervention was to select which video to play for the prize to be paid out, and then chuck ...

Re: RS232 Port handling

Many thanks, I have only been using SCS as a freelancer at another company but I will now be buying my own copy of Platinum in anticipation :-) I'd better do it quick before the £ crashes even more :-(

Re: RS232 Port handling

1) SCS needs to support any number of COM port numbers (currently it only supports upto Port 32) I have to put a practical limit on the highest port number simply because when SCS starts it cycles through these port numbers to see which ports are available. It used to be a maximum of 4 but I increa...

Re: RS232 usage

AH!, that wasn't particularly clear in the manual, I assumed X was just the Cue number and the Q bit was assumed. I'll give that a try, thanks.

Re: RS232 usage

Further to this, I'm having trouble triggering SCS Cues from an external RS232 device at the moment, serial cues going out from SCS are working fine. I'm sending scsGo("50") followed by CR to try and trigger Cue 50 but it isn't triggering, does the Cue have to have something set to make it triggerab...

Re: RS232 usage

However, having said that I've just been checking the program code and there's really no reason for imposing these limitations apart from the overall logic. So if there's a specific requirement to allow multiple input ports and/or sharing of input ports with output, then I'm willing to consider thi...

RS232 usage

Hi, I'm new to SCS but am working with someone who has SCS Platinum and I need to to control some hardware I'm providing via RS232. I am thinking of buying SCS myself once I've evaluted it further but I have a few queries re. RS232 control :- 1) Older posts (back in 2013) here suggest SCS only looks...
