PLUM OUT(tm)
The PLUM-OUT(tm) is a piece of
hardware
known as a “Hat” (Hardware Attached on Top) which is used in
conjunction with a Raspberry
Pi with Raspbian OS. This allows a Raspberry Pi to act as a
cashless
device when combined with any multi-drop bus (MDB) vending
product.
The Raspberry Pi and PLUM OUT Hat are installed as a slave device
for
an already existing vending machine controller (VMC). This allows
the
Raspberry Pi to handle the functions normally controlled by the
VMC
such as beginning or ending a session as well as accepting or
rejecting a session. With the raspberry Pi connected to the
internet,
a remote client can be used to replace the vending machine
controller
and perform all of its functions.
PLUM IN(tm)
The PLUM IN(tm) is a device known as a
“Hat” which is used in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi to
interface the vending machine protocol(MDB) used by various
devices
including: Dollar Bill Validators, Coin Acceptors, Coin
Dispensers,
Smart Cards, Foreign Currency, etc. This allows the Raspberry Pi
to
handle incoming funds and can be used to store them electronically
in
the cloud when connected to the internet or to another local
client.
PLUM Picker(tm)
The PLUM Picker(tm) is a Raspberry Pi
Hat
which controls the item selection process. When the PLUM IN is
used
in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi, the hardware keypad can be
replaced with a touch screen to handle the item selection process.
With the Raspberry Pi connected to the internet, the PLUM Picker
can
be used as an interface between a vending machine and the cloud to
enable the use of a cell phone or a remote client as a selection
device. | | | |
