By "USB connector" do you mean the AT90USBKey?  It is fairly easy to
use that one with the instructions at http://ossguy.com/ss_usb/, as
long as you can do some soldering.

Basically, all you need is the BCD and ALPHA encodings, described at
the bottom of http://www.cyberd.co.uk/support/technotes/isocards.htm.
It's really easy to convert to ASCII.  Just use '0' and space as
offsets into the ASCII table (for BCD and ALPHA, respectively) and be
sure to reverse the bits of each character.  If you need help with
that, let me know.

[SS-dev] connecting ttl to lab view

[ronald s. <ron...@ya...>]

hi, I am a student and would like to hook up a ttL reader to my lap top by a usb and use Lab view program to read out the information all the while using Vista alterma OS. I have read a lot of the lititer on the web site, i have just aquired a TTL reader from digy key and I am ordering the usb connector tomorrow. I still need to get the data sheets for the stuff I already have. My main purpose is to present this project as a final project in a class called "integrating controls". the class uses Lab veiw for everything and I thought this would be a good project. Now my main question is how to program the data stream or at least the outline of the process would help me to program it in lab veiw for my project. Is there a paper that explains this or is there a program I can try to follow to figure it out. 

thank you in advance for your help

Re: [SS-dev] Instructions and code for USB magstripe reader released

[Dean C. <dea...@ho...>]

The StripeSnoop MyUSB application uses a basic status LED system. All red 
LEDs mean that the device is not currently enumerated by the host, red/green 
LEDs indicate the start of the enumeration process (when the host "sees" the 
device and tries to connect to it) and both green LEDs indicate a successful 
enumeration (and hopefully a working device).

Even if the application code is broken, the enumeration process is part of 
the library internals and should work fine. I've just tested it with the 
latest MyUSB version (1.2.0, released yesterday) and the Magstripe/Stripe 
Snoop application and it works fine on my USBKEY board. All other wiring is 
irrelevant to the USB interface if you're using the USBKEY board, as that 
wouldn't interfere with the enumeration process unless you've 
cooked/shorted/bridged the USB circuitry.

Double red LEDs indicates the host isn't even trying to enumerate the 
device -- it either sees it and is ignoring it, or can't see it at all. Does 
Windows give an actual "unrecognized device" popup, or is there no activity 
at all?

Re: [SS-dev] Instructions and code for USB magstripe reader released

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

If the lights stay red (assuming both are red), it generally indicates
a short or other electrical problem.  Make absolutely sure that none
of your wires are touching each other and that you haven't bridged any
of the holes together with solder.  Also, double-check that you've
connected your wires to the right places on port C of the AT90USBKey.
Be sure to use the images linked from http://ossguy.com/ss_usb/ to
verify they are connected correctly.  By the way, which magstripe
reader are you using?

I have CCed Dean Camera, the author of MyUSB, on this e-mail so that
he can provide additional comments if he has any.  He knows the
internals of MyUSB much better than I do so he would know if there are
other reasons that you might be seeing red LEDs.

[SS-dev] Project takeover request denied

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

I requested a project takeover of Stripe Snoop from SourceForge, to
which I received the following reply:

"business rules in place will not allow a project takeover for a
project that has certain conditions, such as if it has ever been
downloaded"

This means that if a project has posted a release to its Download page
and that release has been downloaded at least once, a project takeover
is no longer allowed.

I find this fairly unfortunate (and, in my opinion, quite silly), but
we'll just have to live with a stagnant project unless someone can
contact Acidus to add more project admins on Stripe Snoop's project on
SourceForge.

There is also the option of starting a new project of a different name
with the code from the current Stripe Snoop project.  I don't see a
pressing need to do this, but the option is there if someone wants to
take the time to do it.

I have CVS access but no web access (as far as I can tell, I don't

shortly thereafter the project appeared to be abandoned.

[SS-dev] Where is Acidus?

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

I posted a few weeks ago with instructions for a USB magstripe reader
[1], which I was hoping to get put on the project web site.  I see
that it hasn't made it onto the web site yet and an e-mail I sent to
Acidus asking him to add it to the web site went unanswered.

The last post from Acidus to this mailing list was April 28, 2005.
The CVS repository for Stripe Snoop suggests this was around the time
Acidus made his last update to the code as well.

Is Acidus still around?  If so, I would appreciate if my USB
instructions could be added to the Stripe Snoop web site.  If not,
then I will submit an abandoned project takeover request for Stripe
Snoop through Sourceforge.

Please reply if you have any information on how I can get in touch
with Acidus.  Thanks.

Denver

[SS-dev] Instructions and code for USB magstripe reader released

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

I have released instructions for communicating with a TTL reader over
USB at the following URL:

http://ossguy.com/ss_usb/

This allows people without gameports or parallel ports to get raw
magstripe data, which was previously very difficult or impossible.
>From what I've heard on the list lately, this should make Mac users
particularly happy.

The instructions involve an AT90USBKey, which acts as a USB keyboard,
"pressing" a sequence of 1's and 0's when a card is swiped through the
connected TTL reader.  The AT90USBKey uses the MyUSB library for USB
communication (see http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/MyUSB.php).
Unlike the Atmel-provided libraries, MyUSB is entirely GPL.

I would really appreciate if the instructions page and the files
linked from it could be hosted on the main Stripe Snoop page in the
hardware section
(http://stripesnoop.sourceforge.net/hardware/hardware.html).  I can do
this myself if I am given the necessary access to make the changes or
I can e-mail the files to whoever does have access.

If there are any errors in the instructions or if you have any
suggestions about what could be made better, don't hesitate to inform
me of these.  Thanks.

Re: [SS-dev] port adapter not working

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

With SS 1.6, you can use the -P command-line parameter to specify the
I/O port that the magstripe reader is connected to.  Are you doing
this?  If not, I think it defaults to a common gameport I/O port.

Have you used other devices with your parallel port?  If not, it is
possible that your parallel port is disabled by the BIOS or the OS or
may otherwise not be functioning properly.

Re: [SS-dev] port adapter not working

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

If you are using Stripe Snoop 1.5, you have to recompile the source
with the I/O address of your parallel port because SS assumes you are
using a gameport by default (and 1.5 doesn't let you specify the port
on the command-line).  The change you need to make is the PORT define
at line 28 in ss.cpp.  You can find your parallel port's I/O address
using Device Manager.  I think you need to add 1 to the address you
get when you put it in ss.cpp.

I'm not sure if anyone has using Stripe Snoop under Vista, but there
could potentially be problems with inpout32.dll, which is used to do
the direct port access.  Are you getting any sort of error relating to
this file?

Re: [SS-dev] v3b-4k wiring done

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

It may be possible to write a program to emulate direct I/O access
through a parallel or gameport adapter.  It is easiest to determine
whether this is possible if I can read more about a particular adapter
that you're interested in using.  Please post the vendor ID and
product ID for the device you have.  You can find this using "lsusb"
on Linux or UVCView on Windows:

Re: [SS-dev] v3b-4k wiring done

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

What characteristics of your gameport adapter suggest that it can read
raw data?  It would be really neat if you could do this, but I'm
somewhat skeptical, mainly because of others on this list that have
suggested it's quite difficult and also for technical reasons (reading
the pins the way Stripe Snoop does requires very low-latency USB
packet transmission).

If you provide details on the model of the gameport adapter and how it
appears to the operating system (and which OS you're using), ie. which
files or I/O addresses represent the gameport, I may be able to help
you read data with it.  And I'm in general quite interested in
learning new hardware.

Re: [SS-dev] v3b-4k with molex

I have figured out that if you take the female connector off and leave
the male on the board, you can just use those wires. I have made a
chart of what color wires go where. I did not think of this due to no
instructions with a molex. Thanks for your help.

Re: [SS-dev] v3b-4k with molex

[Denver G. <de...@os...>]

I don't see anything wrong with doing what you suggested.  The solder
tabs are fairly small and spaced closely together from what I
remember, but if you're good with a soldering iron, they shouldn't
pose a problem.

Re: [SS-dev] v3b-4k with molex

[Matthew G. <mge...@gm...>]

I have thought of that. However, I see that there are tiny solder tabs on
the actual connector. Would it be possible to solder onto those tabs? The
header is a good idea, but I do not have time to go to Radioshack or
something, as I have very little time as it is for hobby projects like this.
