Credit Card Swiping Bot

Physical robot that automates credit-card reader regression — 90% less manual effort.

· overview

A purpose-built robot that runs automated card-swipe sequences against credit-card readers, replacing manual regression testing. Raspberry Pi controller, Arduino actuators, 3D-printed mechanical parts, Node.js web interface for triggering runs, Robot Framework for the test fabric, and results piped back into the CI/CD pipeline.
