🛠️ MDB-USB-adapter

MDB-USB-adapter is a hardware and software adapter project designed to work with devices using the Multi-Drop Bus (MDB) protocol. The adapter converts MDB data into a USB interface, allowing vending equipment (coin acceptors, bill validators, etc.) to be connected to a computer for analysis, emulation, and debugging.

MDB-USB-adapter

🧩 Key Components

  • Hardware: A USB-MDB converter schematic designed in EasyEDA.
  • Software: Firmware for a microcontroller that processes the 9-bit MDB data format (8 data bits + 1 mode bit).
  • Documentation and usage examples for quick setup.

🚀 Features

  • 🔌 MDB Protocol Support: The adapter is compatible with devices using the MDB standard, making it useful for working with vending systems.
  • 🎮 Device Emulation: The adapter can be used to emulate MDB peripheral devices, such as bill validators or coin acceptors.
  • 📊 Data Analysis: Enables "sniffing" of the MDB bus to analyze data transmitted between devices.
  • 💻 PC Integration: Connects MDB devices to a computer via USB for further data processing.

👥 Who is this project for?

  • 👨‍💻 Engineers and developers working with vending equipment.
  • 🔧 Enthusiasts interested in reverse engineering and communication protocols.
  • 🎓 Students and researchers studying hardware and software solutions.
