Bernard says some more: If that doesn't fix it, after modprobe'ing 8250 but before starting dispense, fire up minicom on mermaid, and try to talk to the coke machine. You should be greeted with a prompt ":" when you press enter. Type "d7\n" (doesn't acutally dispense anything). Type "s\n" for good measure (it'll throw at you current slot names, which may be garbage, but don't worry). Quit minicom with no reset (^B-Q) - do not eXit (with ^B-X). Then start up dispense. To fix that:

{{{/etc/init.d/coke-server stop
rmmod
8250 ; modprobe 8250
minicom}}}

Fire up minicom on mermaid with the d
efault config (9600bps, 8N1 on /dev/ttyS0) and try to talk to the coke machine. You should be greeted with the prompt ":" when you press enter. Enter "d7" (doesn't actually dispense anything). Enter "s" for good measure (it'll throw at you current slot names, which may be garbage, but don't worry, they'll be reset when dispense runs). Quit minicom with no reset ({{{^B-Q}}}) - do not eXit (with {{{^B-X}}}). Then:
{{{
/etc/init.d/coke-server start}}}

21:25 < bernard> Zanchey: typically it involves running on mermaid as root

  • pkill -9 dispense ; rmmod 8250 ; modprobe 8250 ; dispense standalone coke

DavidAdam says: Yeah, but occasionally this doesn't fix it - we end up with trash in the coke contents (control characters on morwong, off-by-one dispense protocol dumps on mussel...

To fix that:

{{{/etc/init.d/coke-server stop rmmod 8250 ; modprobe 8250 minicom}}}

Fire up minicom on mermaid with the default config (9600bps, 8N1 on /dev/ttyS0) and try to talk to the coke machine. You should be greeted with the prompt ":" when you press enter. Enter "d7" (doesn't actually dispense anything). Enter "s" for good measure (it'll throw at you current slot names, which may be garbage, but don't worry, they'll be reset when dispense runs). Quit minicom with no reset (^B-Q) - do not eXit (with ^B-X). Then:

/etc/init.d/coke-server start
