Drinks can dispenser??


where work of regular shop in larger volumes , brings soft drinks etc work on common courtesy system. in bring in , expect people pay pr drink/eat take fridge. have discovered more stuff pay , have looked commercial dispensing machines found them rather pricy , looked @ each other , decided @ byod(build own device) path.

ie either building scratch, or finding deflunct machine , revitalising arduino or etc control , dispense drinks , assign people credit buy from, either via swipe card, prox tag or other such. in people swipe/present , picks drink , credit gets deducted accordingly.

but complete longshot or feasible idea , 1 can on @ cost lower cost achieve actual machine out of box?

the mechanical system beyond scope of forum. , guess need have system, or plan it, before can figure out how use arduino control it.

the payments side complex. not consider involving real credit/debit cards. make form of  "equivalent" rfid device. have decide how security needs built in avoid cheating.

after arduino coding reasonably straightforward.
