Possible Business Mod. Chip reader.

Hello there,

I'm sorry it's taken a while for someone to respond to your post. This is very possible, but just know that it's going to take some reading.

Let me see if I can set you up on the right track as well as give you some resources to solving your problem. This is a very novel approach to solving what you want to solve by the way.

First of all, you need to find components that are micro controller friendly. Since the reference moto mod has a micro controller on it, you need to find something that is compatible with that MuC.

In my own experience, I found it very beneficial to implement all of the driver software on a raspberry Pi and then port software little by little over to the NuttX RTOS. I did this with an FM Transmitter for my phone. The testing grid is complex, but it's beneficial in terms of learning the system as a whole.

Get started with blinky to become a little bit versed in NuttX. Then follow the Moto Mod documentation on creating a new project.

Now, finally on to your project. I like it.

You should get started with a regular card scanner, and then implement components one by one.

Look into this. PS/2 is a common serial communication standard that is easy to emulate with the above documentation. Get started by reading through the documentation and implementing it on a raspberry pi.

Using the CUI INC documentation, you can get a specification on how to operate any device you attach to this.

Remember that your device needs to be Micro controller Friendly. You also need to know which signals you're using. I2C? CSI? Any one of these needs to operate under given electrical standards.

Get started with this. And remember, keep innovating, and always be curious.
