Credit Card Chip Reader

[wasatchconsulting]

Has anybody processed credit cards using a credit card device like Igenico Lane 7000 unit? I have a request for a self check out kiosk unit with credit card processing. The user would be tapping or inserting a credit card to process.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ken,
How about a device which connects to your tablet?

If I were going to build it from scratch I probably would interface with an arduino and use arduino libraries to decipher the card and send me the info into my clarion program via serial terminal.  Working with Arduino is very easy.  Arduino has NFC and chip reader libraries. 

There are 2 suggestions to get you started.  It really depends on how you want to do it.
