The proposed membership kiosk (to be located somewhere useful, but not in the way of hacking spaces – perhaps in the foyer or near the kitchen?) will allow:
- members to tap their tag and verify:
- personal details up to date
- “restricted group” membership – such as Laser, Swarf-o-mat, Band Member etc
- membership level (and “in credit” status)
- Redirection to tidyHQ for topups (or stripe?)
- trainers to add/remove members from special groups (on completion of training session)
- pretty display of member project slideshow when not being used.
Hardware
Raspberry Pi. Wired network connection. Monitor (wall mountable), kbd/mouse and RFID reader.
Needs to be tidy looking as will be in a public area. any custom hardware (RFID Reader etc) needs be well documented so that spares can be on hand.
Software
Kiosk-mode browser + screensaver
Everything should be remote as much as possible so that we can have multiple of these things.
