First prototype

The first prototype was designed to work with Arduino UNO, a stepper motor and the RFID-RC522 card reader. All is assembled into a self-designed 3D printed case.

Second protoype

Second version is designed to work with Arduino Mega 2560, Ethernet Shield and the RFID-RC522 card reader. It has been used to develop the connectivity features. This features allows to collect number of times and the moment that each user pick a bag. Also is it possible to set a maximum bags per day for each user. The best point is that the software is escalable so we can add new sensors as GPS or Temperature.

Final version -in progress-

For the final version I'm working in my own PCB, which will be able to satisfy all the on-street requirements, as 3G/4G connection or less energy consumption. Besides the implicit advantages as easier high scale production.
