Project details

This project involved trying to interface to custom hardware which include the displays, reader, printer and keyboard. The printer was the biggest challenge because of its high speed. The print head is stationary and the paper pushed past it by a mains driven motor. The peak speed is measured in the 10's of cm a second with the whole ticket being printed in a fraction of a second. This project was completed and the terminals have been running reliably since. The J360 project is also covered in the hardware section.
