Arduino at a car wash, part 2

We continue to review the use of Arduino for self-service car washes. Consider working on a network and communicating with a Cashcode bill acceptor. Start see here .

Internet client

We immediately activate the client and server:

#include 
EthernetServer server(80);
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0x23, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
  IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 100);
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
 server.begin();

We send information to the server, for example, about the accepted bill:

int sendInfo(string pay)
{
EthernetClient client;
  if (client.connect(domenip, 80) )
  {    
    client.println("GET /get_money.php?pay="+pay+" HTTP/1.1");  
    client.println("Host: www.domen.ru");
    client.println("Connection: keep-alive");
    client.println();
  } else  { Serial.println("connection failed"); return 0; }
  delay(100);
  char c;  
  while (client.available())
  {
    c=client.read();
  }
  client.stop();
  return (1);
}

Server

Activated in the previous section. Check for requests.

for (int sock = 0; sock < MAX_SOCK_NUM; sock++) {
    EthernetClient sclient = server.available_(sock);
    myserver(sclient);
  }

We fulfill the request. In the response, we display the current value of the cost of a minute of equipment (timers).

void myserver(EthernetClient client)
{
  if (!client) return;
  char clientline[100]; 
  int index = 0;
  while (client.available()) {
      char c = client.read();
      if(index<99) clientline[index] = c;
      index++;
  }
  if(strstr(clientline, "water")!=NULL) digitalWrite(2, LOW); //вода
  if(strstr(clientline, "pena")!=NULL) digitalWrite(3, LOW); //пена
  if(strstr(clientline, "vosk")!=NULL) digitalWrite(4, LOW); //воск
  client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");  client.println("Content-Type: text/html");  client.println("Connection: close"); client.println();
  client.println(""); client.println("");
  for (int j = 1; j < 6; j++) {
         client.print("timer "); client.print(j);  client.print(" is "); client.print(EEPROM.read(j));  client.println("
");
        }          
  client.println("");
  delay(100);
  client.stop();  
}

Bill acceptor Cashcode

It works through the serial port at TTL levels using the SoftwareSerial library.

SoftwareSerial mySerial(14, 15); // RX, TX
uint8_t poll[] = {0x02, 0x03, 0x06, 0x33, 0xDA, 0x81};
uint8_t ack[] = {0x02, 0x03, 0x06, 0x00, 0x0C2, 0x82};

As I already said, Cashcode works under the CCNET protocol. There are options, you need to check with the seller. The essence of the protocol is that the system periodically (several times per second is enough) asks the bill acceptor for its status (POOL command). He answers. If the response contains information, you need to confirm its receipt by the appropriate command (ACK).

Command format: SYNC ADR LNG CMD DATA CRC

SYNC: 1 byte code [02H]
ADR: 1 byte address of the bill acceptor
LNG: 1 byte * data length
CMD: 1 byte command
DATA 0 to 250 bytes
CRC data : 2 bytes checksum

Send a command.

void sendCCNET(uint8_t *com)
{
  for(char i=0; i


Если купюроприёмник прислал нам в ответе команду 0x81, значит он принял купюру. В данных содержится номинал. У меня это: 2=10 рублей, 3=50 рублей, 4=100 рублей, 5=500 рублей, 6=1000 рублей, 7=5000 рублей. Возможны варианты, зависит от прошивки.
