The Unencrypted Hopper
Serial Compact Hopper Mk2 is available in an unencrypted version.
The unencrypted serial compact hopper can be used without any knowledge of the encryption
algorithm used on the standard ‘encrypted’ product. The ccTalk commands have been kept
identical to minimise changes to software between products.
To find out which product you have, use ccTalk header 244, ‘Request product code’.

“Dispense hopper coins”
ccTalk command
Header 167
.
Transmitted data:
<variable>
[no. of coins]
Received data:
[event counter] or NAK
Where
<variable>
=
8 bytes
of data.
This data can be 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 or any 8 random bytes of data.
NOTE: The competition tend to only require
3 bytes
of data to be sent which is the
internal serial number and this is used as the
<variable>
in the “transmitted data”, to
payout the coins.
Note that a ‘Request cipher key’ command is still required prior to each dispense but the
result can be thrown away as it is not needed. If the request cipher key is not sent then a
NAK will be returned when a dispense is attempted.
