    This assumes that mess is the message and data1...data6 are the 6 data bytes.



    How we set the data1,data2,data3 values?

    Within your code as required. The datan values are determined by the message and documented. My example was just one easy way of doing this there are others. You now have all the info you need to interface with the Bill Acceptor. If you have issues with your Java code, then post it here and some Java Guru will provide advice/guidance.

    Below is the java code :-

    Could any one can confirm is it the right way of setting the message format.


    // Message type
    BitSet messageType = new BitSet();
    messageType.set(1);//messageType.set(1);messageType.set(2);
    messageType.set(4);messageType.set(5);messageType.set(6);

    BitSet data;

    // first byte
    data = new BitSet();
    data.set(0); data.set(1);
    data.set(2); data.set(3);
    data.set(4); data.set(5);
    data.set(6);

    // second byte
    data.set(8); data.set(9);
    data.set(10); data.set(11);
    data.set(12); data.set(13);
    data.set(14);

    // thhird byte
    data.set(16);// bits.set(17);
    data.set(18); data.set(19);


    System.out.println("first bitset ="+data.toByteArray()[0]);
    System.out.println("second bitset ="+data.toByteArray()[1]);
    System.out.println("third bitset ="+data.toByteArray()[2]);


    byte[] bmsg = new byte[4096];


    // bmsg[0] = (byte) TwoWaySerialComm.STX;

    bmsg[1] = (byte) 5;

    bmsg[2] = messageType.toByteArray()[0];

    bmsg[3] = data.toByteArray()[0];

    bmsg[4] = data.toByteArray()[1];

    bmsg[5] = data.toByteArray()[2];

    // bmsg[6] =(byte) TwoWaySerialComm.ETX;

    System.out.println("array length== "+bmsg.toString().length());


    LRC = Calculation.calculateLRC(bmsg.toString());
    String toSendCommand = TwoWaySerialComm.STX+ bmsg.toString() + TwoWaySerialComm.ETX +(char) LRC;

    Re: Bill Acceptor Integration

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    It would help anyone looking at the code if the message's layout were included as a comment:
    Code:
    /*  Output message layout:
    1 byte STX (binary 2)
    1 byte binary for 11 (length)
    1 byte message type
    6 bytes of data
    1 byte ETX (binary 3)
    1 byte checksum - XOR of the 8 bytes between the ATX and the ETX bytes
    */

    Re: Bill Acceptor Integration

    Having more than one statement on a line makes the code harder to read and understand.
    messageType.set(4);messageType.set(5);messageType.set(6);

    Why are you using the BitSet class? When setting bits past the size of a byte that makes more confusion. A byte has 8 bits: 0-7
    Also BitSet stores values little-endian which is reversed for me. For example the decimal number 12 (normally high-endian) would have a value of twentyone as little-endian.

    Can you add the comments showing the desired message format as shown in post#64?

    Why is bmsg size set to 4096? Isn't the message 11 bytes?
