Hi everyone
I need to register in paylink, the coins loaded manually in the hopper.
I do not use a coin acceptor, therefore from my application I manually enter the number of coins that I have entered in the hopper (50, 100, etc.)
I've looked in the spec manual but haven't found a function for this process.
Is it possible to perform this function?
Can you tell me which one I should use?
Best regards

Re: manual coin loading
Hi,
Paylink can't help you with this.
To explain a bit further, Paylink has the job of reporting through the API the information it gets from the peripherals. A hopper peripheral does not "know" how many coins it contains, and so Paylink can't report. As it can't report it, there's facility to set it - it's just a ordinary data item which you have to maintain in your own code.
(Some hoppers are fitted with level detectors (plates shorted by the coins). These are read by Paylink and reported.)
With note recyclers, the peripheral maintains its own count, and so Paylink reads that out and reports it to you.
