Open Source ATM

MrWyrm

OK, It looks like the QR issue is solved, but I have a couple of errors in the code…

The logo file gets deleted after the 1st print comes off

I don’t get a log file written to the SD card

Any help guys?

Any way to mark the logo read only?

uncle_muddy

Changed the code to resolve the logo issue now, just working on the log file bit.

Might have a slight problem with what happenes when the SD card is empty of QR codes thou as the coin taker doesn’t have an enable pin. So might have to make up a small circuit to cut the power to the coin taker once the card is spent.

Just use a single channel relay, cheap as chips.
I can send one after the weekend when I’m home from Greece if that helps.

I’ve got a couple here, but thanks for the offer :)

I’m not seeing anything in the code to drop pin3 to ground thou but I may be missing it.

I have the log file sorted now that I have added a statement to call it that was missing. Just need to look at the RTC as the date is rubbish!!

I also need to work out how to get the modified code onto Github as I have no idea about that, if nothing else comes of this I can say I have learnt a fair bit :D

uncle_muddy

I suspect that the RTC is the problem with the logfile, as it’s logging data just not what I was expecting from reading the code

This is the output

Feathercoin Transaction 1265845585,2165/165/165 165:165:85
Feathercoin Transaction 1265845585,2165/165/165 165:165:85
Feathercoin Transaction 1265845585,2165/165/165 165:165:85

This is so sweet guys… Truly epic… If we can have a working prototype to show the world during the 1 year anniversary, it could get a lot of attention.

@Calem I’m hoping for more than one by then :)

This should be good to go before the next meet up just need to find some one to do the sticker printing as I only have access to powered coaters so its going to look very boring

UM

EDIT *** 500 posts :) ***

I can cut stickers if you like ?

Just sent me an illustrator file and size/color of the vinyl and its a cut :-)

uncle_muddy

@prensel, thanks man… I’ve just Skyped iawgoM about that artwork but he’s not on-line yet…

Can you do vinyl stickers with a spot gloss finish? something similar to this? as I think the circuit tracks would look very cool in gloss :) then all I need to do is think of a colour for the can, but that maybe limited to whats in the spray gun at the time of taking it in due to the time constants of getting it ready for the end of the month

UM

RTC problem is now fixed, I get a log file that makes sense…

Next thing is shutting down the taker when it runs out of codes, I don’t mind that it keeps swallowing Â£1 coins but the punters might get a little feed up of it. I’ve just been to the cupboard where the parts are kept to get a relay and there is none in there, I can’t remember using any… will have to pop out again later and get a couple

uncle_muddy

Current casing design is this…

Vertical slot is for coin taker, horizontal slot is for printer, hole on the end is to take a standard PC PSU…

Thoughts? This is ready to go off to the laser cutters, and due to time constraints to get it ready for the OB at the end of the month, I need to push the button tomorrow lunch at the latest

UM

If you think your ready I say go for it!

MrWyrm

UM, you need a tip jar!

uncle_muddy

I had one, but took it out of my sig whilst the PCUK is going on as I didn’t want to cause confusion

Oh and I pushed the button on the laser cutting this morning :) so hopefully they will be here next week :D

MrWyrm

Ahh, makes sense.

This is insanely cool! Just read the whole thread 8)

Can we make a feathercoin bandit?

spynappels

Started coding V2, Just will need to make a few changes which will allow accepting of all coins (10p and up) and vending different values of FTC in whole pound increments. Sitting in an airport lounge, will elaborate later.

Thanks, when I’m done I will tidy it up and put it somewhere safe for a rainy day and let all the dev work fall to the bottom of the pile, but still be around for referance if anyone wants it. Trying to wokr out how to use GitHub at the moment :-\

I don’t see why not… but I think that is going to need ATM v2 to be ready 1st, I’ll look into it a bit during an insomnia moment and get back to you

You are a god!!!

Are we still going for the Pi route? I need to add you to my Skype thingy so we can talk about this at some point.
