4. New System Diagram

5. ALTERA Cyclone II FPGA • FPGA State Machine • Interface • MDB (Multi-Drop Bus) • Coin/Cash Payments • LCD • E-Payment • NIOS II Soft-core • Electronic Payment Software • MDB Software • Host Interface Software

6. NIOS II Schematic

7. LCD Interface • LCD uses 40 GPIO’s on the FPGA • Touch Screen ADC serial signal (5 lines) • LCD Control Signals (4 lines) • Synchronous timing signals and RGB data (28 lines) • Power and Ground (3 lines)

8. LCD Control DE2 Board VERILOG CODE

9. LCD Touch Screen

10. Cash Interface • MDB2PC™ board donated by Upstate Networks • MDB2PC™ sends ASCII via RS232 • Upon insertion of bills or coins, board sends a unique HEX value • HEX value corresponds to what type of coin or bill was inserted • Power consumption • Requires 24V @ 6A (max)

11. Electronic Payment Upgrades • Magnetic Card Reader • Reads any magnetic card • Reads one to three tracks • Outputs standard RS232 • 9600 Baud, No Flow control • Needs separate power supply • DE2 doesn’t provide power on RS232 port • 3 mA power requirement • Inject power into RTS line • MAX3232 used to convert from RS232 to 3.3V TTL

12. Timing Diagram of Magnetic Card Reader

13. RFID • 5V TTL logic out • LV4245 Level shifter used to convert from 5V to 3.3V TTL • 30 mA power requirement • 9600 baud rate • 10 cm read range • 64 bit tag number • Standard ASCII output

14. Electronic Payment Schematic

15. Host Interface • Use Visual Basic Application • Allow for owner/servicemen to monitor and control machine • Check Inventory • Check Sales and profit • RS232 for development • Use dedicated Ethernet LAN for final implementation

16. MSP430 • Interface between motors, sensors, and lighting • Why MSP430? • Built in peripherals • Number of I/O ports • Allows us to operate separate processes from the Altera board • Familiarity

17. Interface between MSP430 and Altera • Altera MSP430 • Altera sends a 7-bit signal for motor driving • 6 bits allocated for motor selection • 1 bit for initiating vend cycle • 1-bit “action” signal to alert the MSP of user interaction • MSP430 Altera • 3-bit error signal • 3-bit status signal
