Open Source ATM
-
Is the android wallet software open source?

MrWyrm, where did you get the info about GBP from? I’m hunting now and can’t find anything.
It’s time to take this back to basics, so to that end I have now ordered some hardware! intention is to build from the original link that Kevlar posted and have a working BTC ATM at the end of it, then hack the code up as much as is required to get FTC to work with it!
So we should end up with a very basic model, from there we can start adding the bells and whistles that we have started to talk about, look at porting to Pi, screen, on-line, etc… Does this sound like a reasonable plan?
I’m going to need help with the code as thats something I just don’t do, but I’m willing to learn and at least have a go.
So who is in to give me a hand?
-
Contacted them directly over e-mail enquiring about GBP.
-
Need to find a UK supplier for the units, or just become one >:D
-
If it is Arduino at the moment, I can help with checking the Arduino code…
-
I’ve just ordered an Arduino and the sleeve to go with it should be here for the end of the week :)
I’ll get things setup, without the note taker for now and we can go from there
-
Should have checked out the Tutorial first, Doh!
I’ll step through the Arduino code and see what it actually contains and have a look at what is required to make it include network connectivity and realtime exchange rates.
Also, where did you order the Arduino and shield from? This could certainly be made smaller and cheaper by using a different Arduino and SD Card Shield, e.g. there is an Ethernet shield which also had an SD card slot.
Let me get back to you on the Arduino stuff…
-
What read the manual before we start! Jesus man you’ve gone crazy O0
All over the place >:D kinda like that when I get an idea in my head, the shield I have order has the SD card and RTC in it as per the write up. Was going with the basics, before we start to mess around with things, but more than happy once we have this working to go with v2 and spend the required on another batch of hardware.

Ok, the Arduino code is extremely basic, which is good as it can be easily adapted for FTC, without the intermediate BTC step. Unless you are set on dispensing whole BTCs for a dollar each…
I will fork the Github code and make some changes to it to enable it to work on Arduino and dispense FTC, although that is mainly a case of changing the text a little. Currently, on every note inserted, it will print a QR code, which will have to have been preloaded. We will have an FTC specific PoC without any security in no time, pretty much almost as soon as you have the hardware including the printer!

COOL!!!
I’m liking this, just hunting a printer now, will order today! Then on to find a note taker

I’m amazed! Thank you so much for your help on this one
Printer has just been ordered! now if I could find a note taker for delivery tomorrow we might just be able to get it to the Oxford Blue at the weekend!
In case you where wondering, this is Muddy getting excited!

I’ll +1 muddy as well…
Keep up the enthusiasm!

Wow would love to build one of these its amazing what you guys are doing here!
-
There’s a guy called Ronan who’s the Director of Internation Sales at pyramid. I’ve dropped him an e-mail asking about UK distributors. I’ll report back.
-
Kris, thats the idea :)
I’m just drawing the case up in CAD now, bit difficult without the hardware here, but I can get the basics done. As soon as the hardware arrives I’ll get it finished and off to the laser cutters to get it burnt in 2mm steel. When we have it right we can make the files open source as well!

I’ve just emailed them the same question :)
Do you think they will put the price up because of the sudden interest in their product?
-
Haha, now they think there’s a demand, send them e-mail offering to be a distributor.

I’m looking at one of these http://shanghai-elan.cn/Download/Download%20files/Lumina%20Datasheet.pdf I think everything we have so far is configured to use a pulse interface, so maybe this will do?
spynappels can you see anything in the code that might allude to how the pulses are counted? and if there is anything that looks like it’s expecting the pulses to come in at a set frequency?
