2. Aardvark drivers are installed but Code 39 occurs Review by Cristina D. Rating Hey, i installed the Aardvark device on Windows 10 using drivers v2.16, but the Device Manager shows this device status: 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.

If you have a problem, please take the time out to look at our FAQ section here.

Advice on the purchase of suitable money handling peripherals and support for problems of a purely hardware nature, is provided by our manufacturing / marketing partner, Crane PI. You can contact their sales department with an enquiry from this page

If you have a problem of detailed software nature then the support forum might contain someone else’s similar experience. If you’re problem is a new one, then the best way to tell us about it is to create a new thread in that forum. In that way, you will benefit from the advice of other users. There is no quicker way to contact our support staff, but if your problem is of a confidential nature, you can contact them at support@aardvark.eu.com.
If the Paylink System fails to work with the software you have written, please take the time out to run the demo programs provided as part of the SDK. These are used by Aardvark staff to test the product during development.

If the failure is evident with these demo programs, then we will find it much easier to troubleshoot your problem. If the failure is not evident, then that will indicate that you are using the interface in a different way, and we will probably want to ask some quite detailed questions.

Development Platform
Although the Paylink System is fully supported on any Linux distribution, as well as Windows on a PC, the Aardvark Development team use Windows PCs to work on the Paylink software. This means that the distribution and debugging tools are slightly biased to this environment.

If you have access to a Windows PC, then we recommend that you use the released SDK (see below). If you only have access to a Linux based system, you will still be able to use the Paylink System without any problems by downloading the Linux release files below.

Product Updating
Normally the entire interaction with the external hardware is handled by firmware running on the Milan Interface unit. The software on your computer only requires updating if you are intending to use a new facility not supported by the version you have installed, or you are using USB connected peripherals. (This will be obvious because your application will refuse either to link or to load!)

There are some PC utilities to aid in fault finding. Copies of these form a part of the SDK on the Paylink Installer (see below) and some are available below.

These links will enable you to obtain the latest fully supported versions. Although some of the software downloads consist of a single executable, they are all saved as zip files, as the default (run) operation of the executable is unlikely to be useful!

The main release of the SDK is now as a standard Microsoft Installation file (.MSI) for Windows. If you download that and run it, it will extract the SDK into your specified folders, install the USB drivers and interface DLLs into the correct locations and if you wish run a WalkThrough program that will check that your system is ready to run Paylink Applications.

For most of the other technical files you can just extract the executables from the zip into a handy folder and run them. The upgrades for the Milan Interface unit firmware are distributed as a part of a program, or executable script, which will update the firmware on an installed unit when run. The PC version of this program has a number of features, which are described in full in the Utilities document.

Due to code space limitations on the Milan Interface unit, there are now Four different firmware loads for the Paylink system software. The firmware load that you will need for a given set of peripherals is detailed in the System Manual (on page 31.)

The Linux distributions are as tar.gz files, which can be unpacked and installed on a Linux system. Full details on this process are given in the Linux User Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
The following list of common problems and their answers has been mainly extracted from our support forum, so please visit that if you can't find your problem here.

The reception of bytes by the Aardvark slave, when it is configured as an I 2 C slave, is asynchronous with respect to the PC host software. However, logging to stdout and stderr is still supported. The Aardvark adapter is USB 1. Serial Clock — control line that is driven by the master and regulates the flow of the data bits. Two pins are connected to provide a solid ground path. This will require the ability to reconfigure the offending master device. Note that the last few bytes of the response may be corrupted as well.

Hence any pending data in the operating systems incoming buffer will not be reported to the user usn the Aardvarks software queues have been fully serviced. This feature allows the Aardvark adapter, following a transaction as a master SPI device, aardvarrk be then reconnected to another SPI environment as a slave. The best throughput can be achieved for single transactions that transfer a large number of bytes at a time.

One can employ the following technique to guarantee that all pending asynchronous data have been captured during each service cycle: To confirm that the device was correctly installed, check that the device appears in the “Device Manager. As of version 5.

Total Phase and distributors have no obligation to provide maintenance, support, or updates. The Aardvark OEM adapters have a subset of these features.

Write a stream of bytes to the I 2 C slave device with extended status information. The sequence of events are as follows:. SPI is a very simple communication protocol. The lines are effectively pulled up to 3.

Aardavrk there is no data already available, this function will check the operating systems receive buffer for the presence of asynchronous data. The data frame is described by two parameters: As an example, the integration for the C language bindings is described below. For hardware versions before 3. This is a constraint found with most I 2 C master devices used in a multi-master environment.

Control Center Serial Software

Zero bytes were requested from a slave. This is most likely a result of a communication error.

Life support devices or systems include, but are not limited to, surgical implants, medical systems, and other safety-critical systems in which failure of a Total Phase product could cause personal injury or loss of life. The Aardvark DLL is designed for single-threaded environments so as aadrvark allow for maximum cross-platform compatibility. Otherwise there will be a memory access violation in the program. While provided language bindings stubs are fully functional, it is possible to modify the code found within this file according to specific requirements imposed by the application designer.

Write a stream of bytes to the I 2 C slave device followed by a read from the same slave device. The messages will be held until the appropriate API function is called.

As such, if the SPI master sends a subsequent transaction in rapid succession to the Aardvark slave, the data received by the Aardvark slave may be corrupted. USB Drivers – Linux. The log stores information about the type of transaction, features used, and the message sent. Create, run, and save aardvrk batch scripts to automate tasks. A line’s bit position in the mask will be 0 if it is configured as an output or if it corresponds to a subsystem aardvaek is still active.

Serial Data line — the signal used to transfer data between the transmitter and the receiver.

The master should then release the bus. This can be inefficient in simple configurations and a direct-link interface such as SPI might be preferred.
