Main features:

  1. Target is a device of "Cashless Device" class.
  2. Hardware USART of Arduino Uno configured for 9-bit word communication (9600 baud, 9 data bits, no parity, 1 stop-bit).
  3. Payment is based on 13.56MHz RFID cards.
  4. Balance of the card is stored on the HTTP Server.
  5. Device makes HTTP request to Server to make a payment and then vend item in case of success.
