Moodus Give - Contactless Donation Kiosk

2022-04-01 embedded systems iot pcb design payment integration product development electronics

Moodus Give is a contactless donation kiosk that lets visitors give in seconds with a simple tap of a bank card or phone. Instead of a coin box, a giver chooses a fixed amount with one of three large push-buttons and confirms on an integrated payment terminal. The product has grown into a family of donation solutions deployed across thousands of sites in Europe, including museums, zoos, churches, mosques and hospitals.

Three amount buttons amount ATmega328 controller drives the kiosk engineered by JDT hand off Payment terminal contactless Tap card / phone visitor taps confirm Donation complete in seconds
Pick one of three fixed amounts and the ATmega328 controller hands off to the integrated terminal — the visitor taps a card or phone, and the gift is complete in seconds.

JDT Engineering's contribution

JDT Engineering designed the controller electronics and embedded firmware at the heart of the kiosk across several hardware generations. The current board is built around an ATmega328 microcontroller and drives the donation buttons, status feedback and the interface to an integrated payment-terminal module that handles the actual contactless transaction.

Beyond the core board, JDT carried out mechanical-integration work for a payment terminal and a software integration with an external ECR payment terminal, extending the platform to new hardware.

The engagement is ongoing. JDT manages PCB fabrication and assembly through an overseas manufacturing partner, provides EMC-compliance design support so units meet European requirements, and performs field-failure and root-cause investigation for boards deployed at customer sites.
