lnPoS for Odroid GO - Bitcoin/Lightning Point of Sale

[hpcodecraft]

Hello!

It's maybe a bit late in the platforms life, but you can now turn your Odroid GO into a Bitcoin/Lightning Point of Sale.

This is a port of arcbtc's lnPoS to the Odroid GO platform.

It's my first Arduino project, so I mainly rewrote the input & display code and tried to keep the rest as is to make it easy to implement updates from the original code.

Long story short, here's the Github repo: https://github.com/hpcodecraft/LNPoS/tr ... oSOdroidGo

And here is a little demo video:

Very nice, not sure how many people have the need but it's an ingenious use of the Go.

I'm sure the code to generate qr codes could be useful for other things

Same here tbh, but at least it's a way to breathe new life into some consoles collecting dust, at least that is my hope. And if anything, it was a good learning for me

I'm sure the code to generate qr codes could be useful for other things

That was actually one of the smoothest parts for me - I realized the GO offers a built-in function for QR codes, so I could even scrap some code from the original project.

Code: Select all

GO.lcd.qrcode()

to the rescue


I have however, one weird problem with the project: When I try to convert it to a .fw file, it will boot and everything looks ok, but the WLAN access point won't come up (I can't find the WLAN on my mac). The only way this works when I flash directly from Arduino IDE.

If anyone has an idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to have a proper .fw file which works with the multi-boot firmware.
My suspicion is the SPIFFS partition which saves the config, but I don't really have a clue since there are no errors, just the WiFi is missing.
