Connecting to Kiosk III

The Kiosk III connects through either USB or Serial Interface (COM).

Connect with USB:

The Kiosk III uses USB-HID (Human Interface Device) and does not need any vendor-specific drivers. Simply by plugging into an available USB port makes it available for SDK connectivity. To inform the SDK you are using the USB interface of the Kiosk III, you would execute the following command during program initialization to establish a connection:

IDT_KioskIII.useUSB();

Connect with Serial Interface (COM)

The Kiosk III can connect via Serial Interface. The serial port settings are as follows:

  • Speed: 19,200
  • Bits: 8
  • Stop Bit: 1
  • Parity: None

To inform the SDK you are using the Serial Interface of the Kiosk III, you would execute the following command during program initialization to establish a connection by passing the correct COM port number. In the following example, we are connecting to COM1 SRED device:

IDT_KioskIII.useSerialPort(1, true);
