- Thread-topic: Help Controlling a Serial Based Cash Drawer- Sending a single character serially via applescript
Greetings All,
I have a Serial Cash drawer I picked up from macpos.com. I need a simple
script that sends a character out serially via my keyspan serial port.
What's the best way to do that? While the drawer didn't come with docs, I
have discovered that it opens with pretty much a single character being sent
to it serially.
How I'm doing that now is via terminal
screen /dev/tty.KeySerial1 9600
Then typing any key and the drawer opens.
My end goal is to have an applescript that fires drawer open which I'll call
from filemaker most likely.
I presume this is a simple one but it's eluding me at the moment. I'm green
with applescript so any help appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
