Description	Awesome lighting for vending machine (Removed) Getting the vending machine to work! (In progress)
Picture

At the ACKspace building one of the tenants found a CocaCola vending machine. After consulting CocaCola as well as the caretaker, the machine got a new owner who sells drinks at the profit of all tenants. However, the fluorescent lighting of the machine was broken. So we decided it might be fancier to replace the fluorescent lamps by multicolor, ledstrips.

I created a small pcb with an Atmega328 and a few IRF510 powerfets connected to the pwm outputs of the micro controller.

The project has been revisited by other members to get the machine to work. Currently we found out that you are able to access more options if you set/enter the passcode (See inside of machine). The idea is to use an iButton reader OR barcode scanner (Implementation of the AckBar software) as a replacement of the technologically obsolete value that is called cash money. Mechanically the machine is working, it is just the software that needs to be edited (and in the case problems ARE found, they need to be fixed.).
