POS Display with iTunes Movie

Here is a Quicktime Movie of the POS Display with iTunes. It shows some of the features of the script. It also reveals some of the limitations of the Display:

• no extended characters
• 40 character limit on scrolling text
• 24 hour clock only

Even with these limitations, it serves its purpose well, and it was cheap compared to a normal serial VFD.

Here is a link to the code: AEDEX iTunes Code

Make sure to save it as an application and select "Keep running." Then put it in your iTunes Scripts folder.

Requires a working serial port (edit the script to specify which) and: SerialPort X 1.0 OSAX
