Tiny Checkout Lines

projects

I built these tiny checkout lines for a children's museum in Roanoke, VA.

These are standard (maple) box builds with a round-over trim and finished with several layers of poly. The scanners (purchased from of ebay) were from real commercial checkout lines. These scanners were each connected to a raspberry pi that had simplified software that would add up items that were scanned in.

The conveyor belts are strictly cosmetic and they do not move.

Special thanks

Many hours went into getting these things complete. I have to think @pizzafromscratch (Bill) for keeping me company during the build and helping with sanding.

Check out Bill's cartoon pizzafromscratch.net.

Sean D. was also a big help with the software side of things.
