Queuing Machine Solution
According to the client’s requirements, we use open source hardware as the main microprocessor, then pair it with 5 inches screen, QR Code Scanner + NFC, and operate the Andriod Things IoT operation system. In the aspect of software function, we adopt Android APK which effectively reduces difficulty of software development and cuts costs of upgrade & maintenance in later period while satisfying the customization needs of the client.
Game Controller Solution
In order to meet the needs of various game control modes, we combine the mature IoT hardware platform and build one game controller equipped with multiple input and output control ports (opto-couplers isolation), RS232/485 communication ports, I2C, SPI, USB Host, RJ45 network ports. Resource of game controller:
• One 10/100M Adaptable Ethernet Interface
• One USB2.0 Host Interface
• Four Inputs, Four Outputs
• Two RS232 Data Interfaces
• One RS485 Data Interface
• One I2C, One SPI,Two PWM Interfaces
• Operation System: OpenWRT
• General Protocol: MQTT
Cloud Service
The overall service runs on AWS, the Service we used include: Amazon EC2,Amazon S3,Amazon RDS,Amazon API Gateway, Amazon Elasticsearch Service.
We also use git,Docker & Docker Hub,CircleCI,selenium as the instrument to aid development and continuous delivery in the process of development and deployment.
The functions we have implemented are:
