A quick tutorial

 
QR codes are being used more and more each day. Therefore, it makes sense to create a solution where customers can use QR Codes to pay for products in a vending machine.

 

In this tutorial, we will cover how to set a QR code payment method in a vending machine. As we all know, this innovative payment method is highly popular due to its convenience and ease of use

 

There are many different application scenarios for this solution. One example is in companies that distribute credit to employees or visitors to buy products. Another example would be a system where you pay for a QR Code and get a printed or mobile version, which you can use later on any machine that accepts that specific QR Code.

 

For this solution, consider that your machine needs to support MDB.

 
What You Will Learn
Connection
In this particular solution, we have our MDB-USB Interface connected to a coffee machine via MDB and to an Android tablet via USB.

The tablet itself is communicating with our software in the cloud, which keeps accounts and balances for users.
This software is free for you to use or test, ask us for more details about it.
Scanning
You simply present the QR Code to the tablet reader (in this case, the built-in camera).
It will show you how much credit you have in your account, and you can then choose your products.

The system then closes and remains idle, waiting for the next user to order.
