Hey John, Just a thought, but is the till linked to the main PC via USB port? W10 has a feature for the USB whereby inactive USB connections are shut off. Happens to me with my CNC machine connected via USB port, and that results in the CNC machine not receiving the machine coded GRBL to continue.
It can be switched off (disabled) via Control Panel - Power Options - Edit Plan Settings (Changed Advanced Power Settings) - Advanced Settings - USB Settings - USB Selective suspend setting - disable! Might help, it fixed my problem 😉 Pete C MOT -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <[email protected]> On Behalf Of john Sent: Tuesday, 21 September 2021 6:49 AM To: leedslist <[email protected]> Subject: [LU] Techies on the list Not sure if anyone can help but I thought it might be worth a try:I got a call today from a pal in the local garage who has a till which sends end of day figures to a pc in the office which then produces details of sales of petrol. They need this to record details of sales to account customers.The pc keeps failing to see the till and they can't do their daily recording.I suggested that most likely the till is running on a kiosk version of XP and can't talk to a windows 10pc because it most likely no longer has smb1 enabled.I talked my pal through the steps to enable smb1 and after a reboot, hey presto the pc talked to the till.Does anyone know if I really did find the fix or is the link just erratic?Just like their till supplier, I suggested they upgraded the till as I thought that the stripped down "kiosk" xp had been binned too.
