Will my fat machine work with Doodh Master?
If it sends its reading out by RS232 or USB as a line of text, the app can read it. Send us the model name on WhatsApp first and we will tell you what we know.
Ask with the modelAMCU software that reads the line your analyser already sends
On the Windows app, the reading comes down an RS232 or USB cable and fills the milk entry by itself.
We switch it on for you, and typing by hand stays on.

How the machine link is set up
Step 1 of 4
Plug in the cable
RS232 or USB serial, into the counter computer. Pick the COM port from the list.
Step 2 of 4
Set the speed
Use the speed your machine sends at, from 1200 to 115200. The screen shows the last line it received, so you can see it arrive.
Step 3 of 4
Say which column is what
Tell the app what separates the columns and which holds the supplier code, litres, FAT, CLR, SNF, rate, amount and shift. Ignore the rest.
Step 4 of 4
Review, or save by itself
Readings can wait in a review list, or save straight to the day register. A code with no matching supplier is flagged and not saved.
A worked example
One line from the machine
Suppose your machine sends this line: 104,20.0,4.0,27
Set the separator to comma and map the four columns as shown. The app finds supplier 104 and fills in the rest, the same as if the operator had typed it. This line is an example: yours depends on the machine.
You choose who sets the rate: your rate chart, or the rate the machine sends.

What it does today
Machine link, what works where
| What | Today |
|---|---|
| Analyser or AMCU by RS232 or USB cable | Windows app, once we switch it on |
| Weighing scale by cable | Windows app, ask us first. The weight comes in once the scale is steady, and kilograms turn into litres at 1.03 kg a litre, a number you can change |
| Stay connected on every page | Yes, a switch in Settings, AMCU Machine. Readings save while you work on Buy Milk or anything else |
| Typing by hand | Always on |
| Website or phone browser | No |
| Analyser over Bluetooth | No, cable only |
We keep no published list of tested machines. Send us the model name on WhatsApp before you buy or plan on it.
What the machine link cannot do yet
It only reads. It cannot send a rate chart to the AMCU or control the machine. It works only if your machine sends its reading out of a port, and it does not test the milk itself. The accuracy of FAT and CLR stays with your analyser, so keep it calibrated.
Send us your model on WhatsAppDo I have to buy a new AMCU?
No. The app reads the machine you have. We do not sell machines.
No, keep yoursIs the machine link in the free trial?
No. It is switched off in the 7 free days and we switch it on for your dairy when you ask.
We switch it onWhat if the cable comes loose mid shift?
With the keep connected switch on, the app tries again by itself and Buy Milk shows if the analyser is connected. Typing by hand works the whole time.
