Linux (Dummy) Guide for dashvend ?

thx Tungfa , I tried myself to install it , and I got stocked on MAKE
after downloading the blockchain , I get this error:
error : specified data directory " testnet"does not exit.
Makefile:19: recipe for target 'dashd' failed
thx in advance for help
im a Linux noob
 
- THANK YOU moocowmoo !!! :-D
So cool :-D

......and
This is all fine and dandy
but
Can we get Camo or somebody that worked on the project, to work up the wiring schematics??

It's one thing to program the Pi and another to put all the parts together and make it work.....
Gotta buy parts.... etc etc....

TIA


edit: I spoke to soon - lol - I found the Parts list - sorry
So this is EVERYTHING?
Throw it all together and we're good - right?

IF SO - gonna take me a minute to get the parts and what not.....



edit: teehee [in my best 8 year old little girl voice]



- so cool - SO EXCITED!!!

Don't look at me, I have no clue how to do it! Maybe we need "moocowmoo's Dashvend Guide for Dummies"... :tongue:

If he can supply the commoners version of instructions, I'd happily make him a website aimed at this purpose. We've discussed it but he basically said only developers will need this stuff so a website wouldn't work out too well beyond just github. But if we could turn it into more of an educational how-to-theoretically build this machine, atleast it will gie reporters some good content to go off of, and people can share it around until more developers start to take notice of it.


So does anyone wanna simplify the instructions into a few paragraphs? I'll put together a website similar to dashndrink.com and change up some design aspects to turn it into more of a billboard for dashnvend aimed at devs/merchants.

Just ping me if anyone wants to do this. I know solar suggested to host a little github landing page on dashndrink.com but a dedicated website with a campaign backing it would be that much better.... so who's helping write that content/campaign? :]

I've reproduced the error. I'll push an update to github soon!
EDIT: done!
Code: 
git pull ; make dashd

4 wires come off the pi2 to the relay board.

+5V pin 2
GND pin 6
GPIO5 (sign light) pin 29
GPIO6 (vend release) pin 31

i think it would be great to have a dummy guide
"How to install dash vend on your Pie (Linux)"
https://github.com/moocowmoo/dashvend

If we're going to promote actual retail implementations I recommend we:
- identify more powerful hardware options (several tiers of cost and power efficiency)
- encapsulate the entire process in a virtualization layer (docker/vagrant)

Then, the guide would be as simple as:
Code: 
git clone https://github.com/moocowmoo/dashvend-vagrant
#edit some config files
make

As it stands now, dashvend is a prototype for developers.
But, there's no reason I can't upgrade it to a turnkey system once the hardware and product variations are defined.
 
Ugh - just realized - I'm out of fresh Pi
Got [2] and both running MN's......

building my list....
 
MangledBlue The best upgrade is the Odroid-XU4. You need a shifter shield to make 5v relays work. Haven't got the relays to work yet, but soon.

(Edit: jinx moocowmoo
Or the banana pi M3 might be better. It has compatible PI GPIO pins right off the bat. A little more expensive.)

As for getting Dash off the machine, you just need a public/private key pair. The public key shows on the vending machine. The private key is imported in your wallet. No need to dial in to get your Dash.

I am planning to put some info on code.dashndrink.com. 3rd down the list of priorities right now.

please let me know when you done and ready
and i start sharing that !

I found these files that I made at the start of the project. You can't really build a project without a plan right? We didn't use a camera, amplifier, or the touch part of the screen.

Flowchart - shows how decisions are made.

Schematic - Per mangled's request.

Oh NOW you find these things.....
 
Good news. I figured out how to drive relays with the Odroid-XU4. It took 3 OS installs, 15+ help guides, and a little luck. That means it should be pretty simple to make a new git clone package to download the same code for the XU4 as we did for the Raspberry Pi. The advantage = Fast boot times...No need to wait 30+ minutes to before Dashd completes it's first sync up.

This is just the first step. I will need a little help from moocowmoo to github and package it up.

And I think dashd needs to be compiled for this chip too. So I will work on creating the instructions for compiling dashd.
