[@NikolaguitarREZB]

Hey Bringus, I work with these POSes every day. Looking at the back of the unit, the USB 5 (12v) is usually reserved for Scanner peripherals, since they draw more power. CD1-2 are cash drawer ports. Customer Display is that little pole thing that shows you the total, that has a monochrome LCD, which is why it doesn't really need a digital port. COM ports are usually reserved for extra peripherals, and do not act like LAN ports, usually. They're relatively powerful machines, and there are some 12th gen intel ones. Though, if anyone has questions about this, I'll try to answer them as much as possible.

[@BobtailEntertainment]

I heard that they went out of business, so maybe, just maybe….he could buy a machine lol

[@faeranne]

So... 10 years ago I was wandering my local neighborhood, and noticed a large pile of electronics sitting outside my local Sonic. Pulling up, I looked it over, and thought "Hm, why is this e-waste just sitting here? Are they just gonna throw it away? Maybe I could ask the manager if I could have it?" So I walked up to the kiosk, pushed that brand new, shiny, red button, and asked if I could talk to a manager. Some 20 something kid wanders out and says he's the assistant manager, cause the regular manager was gone for the day. I point to the pile of e-waste and ask what the plan is. He says something along the lines of "I have no idea, but if you can make it go away, please do." Well, I have a minivan and too much time, so I agree, and make the pile vanish... into my garage. This wasn't stall screens, but the actual server hardware that ran on-site, along with kitchen screens and button pads, among other things. The real guts of the operation. The 10.21.4.1 the stall spoke to. And a year later I sold the server along with most of the components for about $500. Never managed to image the SAS drives, never collected any data on how it worked. Only thing I have left are the old Serial cards the server used, since they were kinda cool and worked with something else I was toying with. I had the final keys in my hands years ago, and let them slip right through. I have failed the world. PS: I went to another sonic to see if I could get more e-waste, since they all were replacing their hardware, and it turns out that kid was *not* supposed to give that to me. I had no idea at the time, but he probably got fired over that... ooops.

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

I mean... We should have seen their scrap hardware crisis coming. They're not a tiny guerilla startup in a no-name town, they're a regimented conglomerate fortress. Company e-waste laying around instead of going through due processes and boatloads of paperwork? I'm surprised they didn't fire 50 middle managers other than that poor lad.

[@Mate_Antal_Zoltan]

[@wetw-ir--e----d]

The internal/external connections for speakers and rj45 for card reader is so technicians that travel to support these things out in the field can easily swap failing hardware

[@Gansekommando]

My wife used to work at sonic back in high school and I showed her this video and I have never seen her more interested in a tech video.

[@neufxtrois]

I have experience with maintaining POS systems like this for retail/restaurant businesses (although not for Sonic): CD1 & CD2 refer to Cash Drawer 1 & Cash Drawer 2. These and the 12V Out would all be sent to a splitter / Y-cable that would provide both power and trigger signal to the cash drawer(s). The COM ports were typically reserved for thermal printers for printing receipts or for sending order tickets to the printers in the kitchen. Normal USB ports were typically used for barcode scanners for coupons among other random peripherals like base stations for wireless pagers. We didn't use the USB5 port but the "Customer Display" port was connected to an auxiliary front-facing display so the customer would see their order and total as the items were being entered on the main display.

[@unamelable256]

To be honest - im pretty sure those all ports is just installed because it was a junk anyways. They could just throw all USB's, but no. We gonna slap random bullsh1t so technicians will break their neck by trying to understand how to configure hardware. But to be fair - if you already have some expirience with f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ maintaining those machines that isn't a problem.

[@tennojiberri]

so those customer display ports are what cash registers use at movie theaters to display seat reservations and such, interesting!

[@norfolkngood8960]

@@unamelable256 To be honest there was so much POS stuff around long before USB existed at all thats why they still use so many ports. POS industry doesn't really change. Decades before USB came along we had power out of RS232 com ports hence the 5/9/12v option there it's used to power devices like barcode scanners in the same way USB used to. Epos was well ahead of its time in many ways like that even back in the 80's.

[@miawgogo]

​@@unamelable256 the reason the Cash draws had a different port is a mix of backwards compatibility, but also they have got to thwak a massive solenoid to push it open(needs a lot of current at medium voltages above 10v below 100v) and using RJ45 for serial is pretty common

Micros tech here. What you have is a WS610. And since it shows sinage on it instead of an actual POS program, that is probably an outdoor unit rather than an indoor unit. I didnt even know we provide outdoor units, as the POS we work with doesnt provide outdoor solutions.

Randomly stumbled upon this video! So backstory; Worked in POS support environment from 2012-2016 for NCR and Oracle's sonic migration team, saw both the dev side of NCR's sonic solution and then micro's final (what i would call more so a beta since the customer interface didn't truly come until much later) product. Most of the micros side of development went toward the order flow for on the terminals the carhops would use. Honestly at the time it was probably one of the best quick service on-the-fly systems that allowed for a customer to continuously change their mind without the carhop getting too flustered with indecisiveness. Hardware side of things were pretty interesting. You still had the OLD analog system running low voltage to each speaker that would feed back into a serial port extension. Then the back of house computer would interpret that to the stalls and provide the connection between customer button pushes, audio connect when a carhop accepted the assigned stall, and order display. in the 2014 version, they didn't even have those slide menus to show both regional and national specific menu items as a form of upselling, just the display of the order itself. That admin password you saw? You can actually hold down on one of the corners of the screen until you get a password prompt and get into a mini diag screen to test things from the stall units to the inside info. IF I remember correctly, this was more so to make sure the radios on the stalls were connecting up to the rest of the BOH. I can answer more questions if you're curious about more of the system process. I think I still have my old documentation on an old yahoo email somewhere.

2:50 that’s a sticker for Windows POSReady, which was a version of Embedded designed specifically for point of sale machines. POSReady 7 is based on Windows 7 and was deprecated one year after 7 was. It had a unique startup screen, too. Presumably, because of which Microsoft logo is on that license sticker , that originally ran POSReady 8 based on Windows 8. Not actually 100% sure on that one though. The previous generation of Walmart’s self-checkout terminals (the ones with the number on a light-up box on a stick) ran POSReady 7. No idea what the new ones (the ones with a light-up sheet of plastic on a stick) run, because I quit before they replaced the old ones we had at my store.

Great video I really enjoyed watching this and would love to see a part 2. The employee side is a slightly modified version of micros RES, could likely be recreated using files available on the internet, the res server was that 10x ip address it was complaining about not being able to contact (source: I worked at an undisclosed company dealing with Sonics crap before) you'd need the workstation files (on Internet) and server files (also on Internet) you'd likely have to do some digging to get the stall screen to interface with the server as res is a royal pain to deal with

[@THATCANADIANDUDE682]

1:41 Just a note here, those "ethernet" ports labelled com are actually serial ports using an RJ jack instead of a bulky serial port. Some have custom pinouts, so fair warning.

Yup, don't want to plug that into an ethernet port. The card reader was probably serial too.

Ahh! That "car detect" stuff you found in the config explains those exposed components under the screen! I've always wondered if they were just using the camera to give the Carhops a remote visual of the cx (which is still entirely plausible on its own), but that didn't ever explain to me what the other holes were for. They're using sonar to detect stall occupancy! That's *got* to be an amazing source of info.

[@KG5PHD]

What’s crazy is the car detect hardware is there, but Micros never made anything in the software to actually show someone is there or not.

[@thurstylark827]

@@KG5PHD It could be for only stats collection. Knowing when each stall is occupied, and for how long could be a very useful source of data. Basically automates away the collection of data to answer questions like how busy the store is, and at what times, which stalls are used the most, how long do people look at the menu before pressing the button, what percentage of people stay and eat vs take their food to go, that sort of thing.
