I recently talked to the guys over at Cryto Pay about their new credit card systems. It seem like a really good option. Unfortunately for me they do not offer anything yet to replace the hamilton acw4 credit card system.
That got me thinking if I could somehow make it work for my hamilton since the credit card swiper has only a 24 volt common, 24 volt hot, and a pulse wire. I thought that maybe I could use the dixmor 7 timer that they say is compatible with the credit card acceptor. I was thinking that i could program the timer coin/pulse value for functions 1-3 to the prices of my automatic wash. Then I thought I could jump the wires from the buttons on my acw to tell the timer which price is selected. Then I could jump the pulse wire to my token acceptor and program it to a $1 value so that once the transaction was approved the credit card acceptor could then send the pulses to the machine that way.
Finally after a few hours of thinking it through I realized that there was no way for the Dixmor timer to communicate to the credit card swiper to tell it what wash was selected. So Basically I could only offer one was price for my credit card option if I did it. At least it got me thinking outside the box and figuring some new stuff out. Anyone else have an ideas that I could have over looked?
