a lot of these issues wouldn't be so annoying if we actually interpreted the data that's intended to be read from and written to the magstripe. all we're doing at this point is passing around the data that would be encoded in the stripe. not sure what work has been put in to interpret that...
When a card is migrated or renewed, the old card is ejected. Before that, a print command is sent that prints INVALID on the card face. That would be one way to know whether or not to swap. Check the last print before eject.
to speak specifically to the card flow from the machine's point of view, here are the things that happen with NAOMI-based IDAS.
the available options are dictated by the previously polled card hopper state [such as, don't suggest that a card can be purchased when the hopper is empty]. this...
i haven't put much time into the print subsystem as of late. i've been doing work on reverse-engineering the MIDI force feedback protocol [can currently initialize, move wheel to left lock and right lock, and poll force feedback position data]. also, remediating a DDR cabinet that's now in my...
my shoddy googling says that club kart appears to use a sanwa CR-1231R. it's still a serial comm magnetic card mech, so, the protocol can be deciphered. however, i don't have club kart, or a CR-1231R [makes me wonder how different it is from the CRP-1231BR in initial d. my guess, the club...
hello [whoops, blew out the 10k character limit.]
i've been following the progress in here, and working on my own code and modifications at the same time. i just recently got an IDASv3 USA twincab setup, and have only one card mech...dead. so, being able to dig through this thread and the...
