Tipro POS Question

[Explorer914]

I recently acquired this Tipro POS keyboard.

But I wonder if I can program it, and how do I do it?
I've downloaded the ChangeMe program from the Tipro website but I can't seem to find the right keyboard in the module list. Do u need some other program or do I have to wait for it to arrive before I can program it??

You need to use a computer running a 32 bit version of Windows,you can get a copy quite easily by downloading a Windows 10 .iso from Microsoft and using something like Win To USB to make a bootable thumb drive,then just install Changme and program the board,having to reboot to reprogram is kind of annoying.

To put it simply, for programming purposes Tipro keyboards with a PS/2 controller require a computer with a 32 bit Windows version (and a native PS/2 socket), while Tipro keyboards with a USB controller require a computer with a 64 bit Windows version.
Once programmed, though, all Tipro keyboards can be used without any software with any operating system, as they register as standard keyboards with their configuration saved internally.

By the way, swapping controllers is a matter of a few minutes and just a Philips screwdriver.

Here's a Tipro of the same range as yours with a USB controller:

I think it should work with Changeme. If you have a native AT/PS /2 socket in your pc, Changeme should automatically recognize the keyboard. If you are using a ps/2 to USB converter this might cause a problem, not necessarily. I had cases to repeat or restart the computer etc. because of an older Tipro model. Maybe you try also on a different computer?
