* Inside the enclosure an electro-mechanical counter keeps track of the total number of button pushes this installation serves to satisfied customers. If you are quiet, the electro-mechanical counter can be audibly heard. | * Inside the enclosure an electro-mechanical counter keeps track of the total number of button pushes this installation serves to satisfied customers.

** The toggle switch will activate a backlit Hacklab.to logo (automatically set on a 1:5 cooldown to avoid overheating). | |||
** If both key-stations are actuated within 0.5s of each other, a future (unimplemented) behaviour can be triggered. | |||
* There is also a separate coin-acceptor box intended for wall-mounting. This box permits donation-triggered events using Home Assistant. The global donation total, and the 'transaction' total (value after no further coins deposited for 30 seconds) are exposed in Home Assistant as float entities. | |||
** Note: the global donation total only appears to update ever $0.50 even though the coin acceptor and PLC logic correctly tracks values to $0.05. This is a Home Assistant problem. | |||

* The PLC has been assigned the hostname '''IFC.in.hacklab.to''' | |||
* The configuration.yaml has been patched with the MODBUS integration, with each relevant address being mapped to an entity in Home Assistant. | |||
* All IFC entities are prefaced with '''IFC_*'''. Most are buttons as covered under [[Industrial_Fidget_Controller#Button_Mapping|Button Mapping]], and others are associated with the J1/J2/J3 expansion connectors, or the coin acceptor. | |||
