Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers?
Both adafruit.com and spark fun.com carry solenoids that will work and they also have tutorials that'll help. Amazon also has lots of stuff if you already kinda know what you want. If you want things that'll interface with a micro like the RPi or Arduino, just put in a search for 'arduino solenoid' and you'll get a fair number of hits.

Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers?
I agree with your approach: prototype the button-pusher with a solenoid to ensure your idea works *before* you tear apart the working hardware -- a normal engineering approach. Be sure to use a diode across the solenoid coil as was suggested elsewhere. If you're unsure of a circuit, I'm sure many of us could provide one if you ask. Good luck!

Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers?
Have to say, I'm enjoying this line of conversation, too. I did some R&D work with a guy who created a PC card that pretended to be RS232, so PICK could drive it, but actually drove a wireless. We did some pretty fun things with that device. It died due to problems getting permission to use a meaningful radio frequency for what they really wanted it for. I believe I have a floppy somewhere (probably not readable any more) with the BASIC code that drove the whole thing. Also have code that drove a Motorola pager from PICK. I have to agree that every once in a while it's fun to play around with something challenging and real, where digital and real worlds collide... -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Frailey Sent: May-03-13 2:03 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers?

Re: [U2] AES Encryption Of CC Numbers
While ADE does take careful consideration, it really should be what you are doing. Encryption is hard. Using encryption primitives correctly is hard (ie, most people will get it wrong). Designing a secure encryption system realistical better than plaintext if your server or data is compromised is even harder. If you don't know the differences between CBC, ECB, CTR, OCB, CFB modes, when to use which one, and how certain modes lead to easily compromising the encryption, before reading this it is a good indication you should not attempt to do it yourself. ADE was designed by our in-house security expert and has many features (such as multiple keys, wallets) designed for properly protecting your data. Professional services can assist you setting up ADE if needed.

Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers?
Yeah, that would work as well - once I know it works. The unit I bought actually has an RS232 interface Vs USB - I'm hoping they also supply interfacing documentation as well. I've got a 12/5 volt power supply That was meant to power external 5 1/4" drives - so I'll use that to power the pi, and any other devices. What is nice, is I should be able to remove the batteries from the device as well, and power the BP machine With that power supply. As time goes on, I'm looking to interface in a Pulse Ox reader as well. And I'm Trying to design a medication administration device. Hooked together will import the SPO2 , HR and BP and If acceptable - deliver a medication, otherwise, send an email out. Seems like a nice project for a pi. The hardest part is trying to figure a way to dispense different shaped pills without having to have Some different dispenser for each sized/shape pill. If I use a circular type dispenser, it becomes difficult To store more than a weeks worth of pills (of the same type) in the circular dispenser. Some pills can be 2-3mm and circular in size, others could be 2cm and oblong. I've seen med delivery devices, but none that had any smarts as to not deliver. Should be nice project to learn using the pi and controlling things, as well have something functional That is needed when I'm done. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Porter Sent: Friday, May 03, 2013 12:29 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers?

We are on universe... To avoid storing credit card information, you might consider what we did, which was to implement AdvancedWare Corporation's credit card interface that uses authorize.net for processing. We do not store any credit card information, just a token to authorize.net's system that tracks everything. The interface is used in telnet as well as being used on our webstore. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Gary Heiman Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 10:37 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] AES Encryption Of CC Numbers Hi folks - I'm new to this community, but aged in Multivalue Experience.
