Creating a BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) scenario for a Bitcoin Lightning-enabled parking meter could involve focusing on key behaviors like payment, parking duration, and user notifications. Here's an example of how the BDD might look for this scenario:
Feature: Bitcoin Lightning Parking Meter Payment
This feature allows drivers to pay for parking using Bitcoin via the Lightning Network, track their parking time, and receive alerts when their session is near expiry.
Scenario: User pays for parking
1. Given the parking meter is equipped with a Bitcoin Lightning payment option
2. And the user has a compatible Lightning wallet (e.g., Muun, BlueWallet)
3. When the user scans the QR code on the parking meter
4. And initiates a Lightning Network payment with a chosen parking duration
5. Then the meter should display a confirmation message showing the remaining time
6. And deduct the correct amount from the user’s Bitcoin balance
Scenario: Expiry notification
1. Given a user has paid for parking and the session is active
2. When the remaining time reaches a set threshold (e.g., 5 minutes)
3. Then the meter should notify the user through their wallet (if supported) or on the display
4. And offer the option to extend the session with an additional payment
Implementation Notes
You could implement this using an ESP32 microcontroller with a compatible coin or bill acceptor for those who prefer cash options. Projects like Bleskomat, a DIY Lightning ATM, offer useful guides on creating Lightning-enabled devices with ESP32, which could be adapted for a parking meter setup. These systems often include display wiring, secure connections to a Bitcoin node or Lightning wallet, and automated notifications to keep users informed about their session duration and status. More details on configuring hardware, including wiring and power setups, are available in open-source repositories like Bleskomat’s GitHub page.
