Have you ever wanted to protect your beaglebone from the people on the internet and require physical presence to operate? With an RFID Scanner and touch screen you can prevent tampering. So far the touch screen from class displays images. I am slowly adapting two libraries for the RFID Scanner and the touch screen.  The RFID library allows operation of the scanner over a 3.3V SPI interface.  The touch screen library uses SPI to draw visuals as well as operate the resistive touch screen. Nothing works yet, but will be working once I have time to work on it. Should be a fun project and has room for expansion should the library conversions go too quickly.

Executive Summary

Eventually there will be a picture that summarizes this project.

Have you ever wanted to protect your beaglebone from the people on the internet and require physical presence to operate? With an RFID Scanner and touch screen you can prevent tampering. So far the touch screen from class displays images. I am slowly adapting two libraries for the RFID Scanner and the touch screen. The RFID library allows operation of the scanner over a 3.3V SPI interface. The touch screen library uses SPI to draw visuals as well as operate the resistive touch screen. Nothing works yet, but will be working once I have time to work on it. Should be a fun project and has room for expansion should the library conversions go too quickly.

Timeline

10/20/18 RFID reader and TFT screen hardware obtained

10/25/18 RFID reader operational

10/31/18 TFT screen operational

11/5/18 Integration done

Packaging

I may 3D print a box to contain everything, but I'm mainly having trouble figuring out the cabling for the touch screen since it does not line up well with the BB pinout.

Installation Instructions

I will figure this out once started.

User Instructions

Not Done Yet.

Highlights

Not Done Yet.

Theory of Operation

Not Done Yeet.

Work Breakdown

1. Gathered libraries needed for converting from Arduino to beaglebone C++.

Future Work

Not Done Yet.

Conclusions

Not Done Yet.
