Hello, everyone.  
AmebaIoT 論壇的朋友們，大家好。

Allow me to introduce you to Midbar (RTL8720DN + Arduino Uno Version).  
請允許我向你們介紹我的新專案 Midbar (開發板：RTL8720DN + Arduino Uno)。

It’s a password and credit card vault.  
The Midbar (RTL8720DN + Arduino Uno Version) is able to store sixteen login credentials and 10 credit cards.  
Midbar (開發板：RTL8720DN + Arduino Uno) 是一個密碼和信用卡的安全保險箱，可以幫您存儲 16 個登錄憑證和 10 張信用卡。

It also comes with other handy features, such as:  
它還具有其他非常便捷的功能，例如:

- Advanced Encryption Algorithm; 高級加密算法
- RFID-lockable; 通過 RFID 鎖定或解鎖
- PS/2 Keyboard Support; 支持 PS/2 鍵盤
- Nintendo 64 Controller support; 任天堂 64 數位 手柄遙控功能
- Flash Integrity Check; 閃存完整性的檢查
- 14 Lock screens. 14 個鎖定屏幕

As for the firmware, the links are in the tutorials. But for the sake of convenience, I paste the part with the links here:  
專案使用的固件鏈接我已經貼在了教程中。但為了方便大家，我把部分鏈接貼在這篇論壇貼文中：

_You can download the firmware for Midbar from one of these sources._  
_您可以從下面這些網站下載 Midbar 的固件_

- _SourceForge: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/midbar/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/midbar/)_

- _GitHub: [https://github.com/Northstrix/Midbar](https://github.com/Northstrix/Midbar)_

_If you just need the firmware for the device alongside the RNG, then I would advise you to download the archive that weighs less than 2 MB from SourceForge._  
_如果您只需要 RNG 設備的固件，那麼我建議您從 SourceForge 下載這個不到 2 MB 的固件壓縮包。_

_But if you need the firmware for all versions of Midbar alongside the extra code, photos, and diagrams, in that case, I would advise you to download the 241 MB archive from GitHub._  
_但是如果您需要所有版本 Midbar 的固件以及源代碼、照片和圖表等，您可以從 GitHub 下載 241 MB 的完成固件壓縮包。_

I hope you find this device handy.  
希望大家能用得順手並喜歡這個專案。

Best Regards,  
Maxim Bortnikov

Hi, @[dakamaster](https://forum.amebaiot.com/u/dakamaster)

Thank you for making a Chinese version of this post.

Although I can’t find the original one now.

It’s actually a new version of Midbar.

Unlike the [Midbar (RTL8720DN Version)](https://www.instructables.com/Midbar-RTL8720DN-Version/), the [Midbar (RTL8720DN + Arduino Uno Version)](https://www.instructables.com/Midbar-RTL8720DN-Arduino-Uno-Version/) is RFID-lockable and allows you to connect a Nintendo 64 controller to it.

Hi @Northstrix ,

Sorry for mixing up the two projects…

I will proceed to modify the post back and add in Chinese translation as well.

Thank you

Hi, @dakamaster  
It’s ok.  
Actually, I believe you should leave this post as it is.  
I would simply make a new one. But this time also outline the differences between the two version and make it more descriptive.

Hi @Northstrix ,

God bless that there is version control provided in this forum platform. I have reverted your original post back, and added the translation below your post!

Thank you again for reminding me. Hope you don’t mind the small mistake I have made. 🥲

Hi, @dakamaster  
No problems. I actually like the bilingual version more.  
I guess I don’t need to make a new post anymore.  
Thank you for resolving this issue so quickly.

If you want to get familiar with the Midbar project without assembling it, you can play with its simulation on Wokwi ([https://wokwi.com/projects/374498956604379137](https://wokwi.com/projects/374498956604379137)).

Note that the Wokwi edition of Midbar doesn’t include such features as RFID-lockability, PS/2 keyboard support, Nintendo 64 Controller support, and fourteen lock screens available in the [Midbar (RTL8720DN + Arduino Uno Version)](https://www.instructables.com/Midbar-RTL8720DN-Arduino-Uno-Version).

The simulation is also slow and a bit inconvenient to work with, but still, it should give you a feeling of what the Midbar is.
