Vending machine
A machine which exchanges coins for caffeine. Can also exchange virtual currency (SOGs) into caffeine.
Keyholders, who can help with servicing and consumed coins:
- elia
- nuke
- inf
The vending barely breaks even, we don't make a profit from sales.
Web interface to use SOGs: https://vending.waw.hackerspace.pl/ . Acquire SOGs by talking to other members of the hackerspace.
Hardware
Previously: Vega helix-based vending machine. RIP.
Previously: Vendo Vue 40. Rest in pieces.
Now: Sielaff Robimat 99
TODO
- get wider shelves for bigger bottles
- finish adapting existing holders to better fit mate bottles
- bank note support (only for SOGs?)
Coin Acceptor
MEI Cashflow 560. Does a terrible job accepting 5PLN coins. Needs programming device (MEI Route Alpha 250) to unfuck it?
MDB/UART adapter
DYI on STM32. Hardware repo is… somewhere? Ping q3k. Lets RPi emulate a cashless device for SOG support.
VMC / Robotics controller
Stock. Use Robimator software (VB.NET) to reprogram shelf positions, etc.
