GKevin Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi community This is my first post in die forum, please tell me about any mistake I made during this post I am a happy new owner of a Saeco Cristallo 400 device which is used and has selling data in it. I have full access to the machine. I am trying to access this data which is saved in EVA DTS file format. But I don't have to knowledge how to do this? What I know: The mainboard of the device has some open connection ports (like MDB, BDV, I²C) and I have to connections cables which are probably MDB and BDV. I want to read the data using my notebook. How can I convert the ports to something like USB oder RS232? Is there any recommendable hardware? Which software can/shall I use? Furthermore, I was searching for a technical documentation of the circuit board, but only found to common usage instructions. I guess this is not a question regarding a specific machine as EVA DTS is standard. Does anyone have information about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKevin Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I got a bit further in this topic: Using a MDB-to-USB Converter I am able to send commands from my PC to the machine and I am receiving answers from the device. Does anyone know the correct commands to receive the EVA DTS file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendio Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Is there a 6.5 mm plug (like for for old-school stereo headphones) in it anywhere? I have made an adapter cable to a 9-pin plug for RS232 transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKevin Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 No, the device hasn't such a plug. It transfers its data via MDB (Multi Drop Bus). I am still figuring out how to get the information from this device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendio Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Sometimes you need a harness that plugs into the board. I have made one up for an AP machine. Some machines do not have these capabilities, so you would need to study the machine manual or contact the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
