Aardvark Embedded Solutions brings decades of embedded engineering to the money-handling sector. Our product portfolio covers everything from USB and PC interfaces (Paylink) to remote money-handling hubs (Torino) and custom interface modules, enabling manufacturers to integrate coin acceptors, bill validators, hoppers and cash recyclers with minimal fuss.
We support standard protocols like cctalk and MDB, offer plug-and-play options and provide long-term firmware support — so you’re not locked into one device or vendor. Our solutions are cost-effective, future-proof and designed to work in demanding commercial environments. If your project involves coins, bills or managing cash-flow, we have the technology to make it work reliably.
If you have a PC or any other computer and want to connect it to money handling equipment, such as bill validators, recyclers, coin acceptors and hoppers, then you really need to take a long, hard look at the Paylink system.
If you want to create a system that connects MDB peripherals to a Windows or Linux PC, or a Raspberry Pi and you want to make that job easy, then the Aardvark MDB Paylink Lite USB connection unit is exactly what you need..
The Pescara Protocol Converter, product code MAPIRB, is a small, low-cost, multi-protocol converter that can be used to connect note / bill acceptors that use the ID003, Ardac 2, ccTalk or GPT V2 serial protocols to games / sytems that use the Ardac 2, "Mars Vend Serial", cctalk or GPT V2 protocols.
The Paylink Lite V2 interface is another alternative low cost hardware component for the Milan / Paylink Inteligent Interface. Again, it provides exactly the same fully featured flexible API as the standard interface, but with fewer hardware interface options.
