Update for the new Raspberry OS: Now it is not necessary anymore, to switch off BT. Just use raspi-config (3 Interface Options -> P6 serial Port) to enable serial Hardware (do not allow the login shell on serial line). The MDB interface now is ttyS0, while BT is ttyAMA0.
Hello! We usually offer our Pi Case for industrial environments. It is an alluminium housing for Raspberry Pi + MDB Pi HAT (our unit) but we also have customers who mount the solution inside a sealed IP66 case for example.
What do you think about using it as an MDB emulator to emulate the coin mech but have input from a Nayax card reader? I have a machine that doesnt support cashless but does use MDB to the coin mech and bill validator.
Hello @MkmeOrg, That's very interesting, please drop us an email at contact@qibixx.com and I'll get you in touch with our tech department. Thank you for your comment! JC
I have the same issue as @Mkmeorg, I have a royal vendors GIII vending machine with and EVS control board that supports MDB, the machine has a coin mech and bill validator, this control board does not have a DEX plug that communicates back to the Nayax reader. can you explain how the MDB system works with a multi price vending machine? for example selection 1 orange pop $2.50, selection 2 grape pop $3.00, selection 3 water $1.75. do you select the product first then tap you debit or credit card or do you tap the credit card / debit card then make the selection? if you tap then make the selection how is the dollar amount communicated back to the PI and Nayax. thank you
Hello Anthony, thank you very much for your comment. I have sent your question to our tech department but it would be better if you could email us at contact@qibixx.com. Your use-cases are very interesting and we would like to discuss it further. Thanks! JC
I'm brand new to raspberry pi. I just bought a card reader (nayax vpos) can you walk me through how to connect them? because of hardware limitations, I just have the nayax card reader going to an MDB rs232 converter, then from rs 232 to USB cable, and then usb into raspberry pi. I'm very familiar with python,or is there a program I can download on my raspberry pi to handle the transactions?

Hey Tieferson, we haven't developed anything with NodeMCU yet but it should be very possible, our interfaces respond to simple commands and have USB connectivity. If you are looking to develop in NodeMCU or need any further help please email us at contact@qibixx.com. Thanks for watching! JC
@@lokeegnell3991 where do you pull power from? The power supply unit? The main circuit board? The auxiliary power? Can you splice it from anywhere? That is what I mean?
Hello! There are a couple of options. You can connect the Raspberry Pi directly to a power supply or use one of our MDB Hats and get the power for both devices straight from the bus. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for your video. But in reality I seldom see raspberry vending machines. Most of them are Android. Could you please let me know which system is better?
Hi Sir Wang, actually MANY of our customers use Raspberry devices as the foundation for a vending machine. Yes, you can also use Android. What is better ? Hard to say. The Raspberry, in my view, is much more reliable than most "cheap" android systems, also there are less software layers. If i would need to develop a vending machine i would use a Raspberry (or a Qibixx Barionet 1000 :)
@@johannesrietschel I can just agree. I am using Raspberries to control a lot of different hardware. With the Pi-HAT I was able to implement a cashless system in a vending machine in just a few working hours. Usually I develop my software on a Ubuntu machine and when it is ready, I compile it one more time on the RasPi - finish.
Hmm, how would you receive the payments ? Principially, why not .. you could have the shopify shop been shown on the browser in kiosk mode, and in the most simple case, receive the shop confirmations via email to provide the products. I am sure there are better ways also.
Hello! I'm actually not sure what we used here. I'll ask around the office but chances are it was just some standard reader or something we re-used from a stripped vending machine. Thank you for your comment!

Sir firstly i thank u for this video.. But i want to learn more detail.. How to connect cashless system +cash payment to raspberry pi for vending machine..
Hello! Thanks for your comment. To connect MDB peripherals like cashless systems, coin acceptors, etc to a Raspberry Pi you need a Pi form MDB Interface like the ones we produce here: www.qiba.pt/products/mdb-pi-hat/. It attaches to a Raspberry Pi and can even power it while taking the MDB signal from the peripherals. You can find out more about it here: docs.qibixx.com/mdb-products/mdb-pi-hat

saved my life ,I have had this error on the pi4
have you seen the RaspberryPi durable enough to be put in an outdoor/harsh environment vending machine? Can you swap a RasberryPi with a Linux board?

How do you power the raspberry pie in a vending machine?
How would that be a problem? Wire it up??
