I have a weighing scale manufactured by a local vendor. It can be connected to the RS232 Serial Port to my PC and has been working great so far. Now trying to use it with ODOO v8 POS, however, ODOO does not read weights from this machine although other programs, including the Windows Accessories --> Communication --> Hyperterminal.
Is it that ODOO does not work with RS232 for reading a weighing scale, or something that I am missing?
Odoo pos uses the postbox (Iot Box from v12) modules to communicate with a scale. The modules are mended to be installed on a raspberry pi but it is also possible to use your POS computer.
I would recommend to upgrade to a newer version of Odoo because there is only support for the 3 last versions, that are now 10, 11, 12 (and all subversions)
