Coin acceptor command line tool Windows

The goal of this application is to run on a windows machine (win7 up to latest version) which operates a generic MDB coin acceptor to accept a fixed amount. When the price is paid, something happens (depending on the product).

The MDB interface to talk with the coin acceptor will be a USB device which behaves and shows up like a standard COM port.

Configuration

Before running the application there is needed to configure the config.txt file according to your needs

• COM port to use (COMx)
• Amount of money to collect (in cents, for example 2€ being 200
• Value of the different coins (for example 10,20,50,100,200)
• How much console output is produced
  • 0 - Nothing
  • 1 - Only money relevant
  • 2 - MDB messages with the exception of the empty Poll/Ack
  • 3 - Everything
