Multi-Function Reader

grabcad

In my initial submission for a Grabcad Challenge, I present a versatile device that functions as both a wall mount and counter top unit. The touchscreen can be rotated up to 90 degrees for optimal usage. Featuring a sleek design with aesthetically pleasing curves, the device includes various configurations such as a 7-inch diagonal touchscreen, contactless credential reader, magnetic stripe card reader, two speakers, a receipt printer, a number keypad with braille keys, two USB ports, an RJ45 network jack, a micro SD slot, a power on/off button, volume control buttons, a motion sensor, and an external power supply slot. The device also includes thoughtful features like two cameras for the touchscreen display, speakers positioned on either edge of the core unit, and a movable magnetic stripe card reader that can be slid into the core unit when not in use. The receipt printer and contactless card reader are symmetrically designed for a neat appearance regardless of usage, with two LEDs each indicating their status. Designed with both wall mounting and desktop use in mind, every part of the device is equally easy to access in either position. Participating in this challenge has been an educational experience, introducing me to new software and design techniques. I am eagerly seeking valuable feedback from fellow participants and engineers alike.
