Unless your next purchase is on the dark web, you will more than likely receive a physical receipt the next time you buy goods or services. Some businesses offer to email you a copy of your receipt but only after a ham-handed Morse code tap dance on their grimy card reader. On its surface, this is an alluring idea; a detached ledger located deep in the catacombs of your long-neglected “purchases” email folder.

The Pyramid engineering team has released a new feature for the C# .NET RS-232 API. It is now even easier to control when and for how long your bill acceptor will actively accept bills.

We are proud to be releasing the second of our open source APIs to the community. In addition to our Java API, we now support C# .NET for RS-232 bill validators. See our Github page for the samples, binaries, and documentation.

Will my Pyramid Acceptor validate the new Euro 10 when the bill enters circulation on September 23, 2014? Yes! You will need to have the latest firmware. For the Trilogy Acceptors the firmware revision 1.48. and higher. For the Apex 7000 Acceptors that is all firmware revision 1.03 and higher.
