Cancelling payout in progress leaves device as Inhibited

[jklemmack]

I am using the Paylink connected to several Universal Hoppers in an ATM-like scenario. Sometimes we need to completely empty the hoppers, like for audits. Since this can take a while (10-15 minutes), I've added a "cancel" feature to stop a payout in progress.

Basically, my code looks like this:

Code: Select all

// Disable all dispensers
foreach(var dispenser in Dispensers){
  dispenser.Inhibit = 1;
  dispenser.WriteDetails();
}
Thread.Sleep(2000);
// Re-enable all dispensers
foreach(var dispenser in Dispensers){
  dispenser.Inhibit = 0;
  dispenser.WriteDetails();
}

The problem is that every dispenser is no longer inhibited, the AESImhei.LastPayStatus() shows as "Inhibited". Even if I attempt to do a subsequent payout, it doesn't dispense anything and LastPayStatus stays as Inhibited.

So, how do I stop a payout in progress, and then re-enable the AESImhei device for future payouts?

There's nothing obviously wrong with your code that I can see.

The Paylink driver is usually set to create a log file, typically called Paylink.log, Can you re-create your problem, up to the subsequent payout attempt that fails, and then post your Paylink.log file. They zip up pretty small.
