Overview of the System

The project is inspired by the coffee vending machine; we made many changes to have a
different appeal to the users. For the users to enjoy the flavors of their choice, we made it easier for
them by having three main flavors, and these flavors can be mixed. Unfortunately the flavor of all three
when mixed together does not taste that good, so we disregarded it, we have 6(six) flavors available,
Orange, Pineapple, Mango, Orange-Pineapple, Orange-Mango and Pineapple-Mango.

Objective/Goals
The goal is to make a system that operates similarly to the coffee vending machine; the only
difference is that the three flavors can be mixed alternately. Also to be able to communicate with the
hardware machine to the computer via parallel port, the programming language used is Visual Basic 6.0.

Software Components
With the use of Visual Basic 6.0, the communication of the computer and the hardware machine
is made possible with the use of the parallel port. Sending signals through each of the data pins of the
parallel port, while receiving signals are in the status pins of the parallel port. We made use of
components such as forms, progress bars, timers and many more to make the user interface more users
friendly and colorful.

Program Flow

The system starts when it turns on, from that the software will load the 1
st
page where it will ask
the user to insert a 5Php coin in the slot;

On the next page the system will detect if the cup is in place;



If the cup is detected, the system will ask for the user to select the desired flavor.

Upon the selection of the flavor, the system will ask for confirmation if the desired flavor is sure.


When confirmed, the system will now send data to the machine to pour the selected flavor; the
user will have to wait for the cup to fill.

After filling the cup, the program will now go back to the first page.

Now there are cases where the cup is placed first before the coin is inserted, upon doing this,
the page will go directly to the selection screen wherein the system will ask for the user to select the
desired flavor. And also for a safety feature, upon the selection screen, when we select the desired
flavor, the system will also confirm if the cup is still in place, when the cup is not there anymore, the
system will go back to the 2
nd
page where it will ask for the cup to be placed. The machine will only pour
the selected flavor if and only if the cup is in place.

Scope of the Project
The project will be all about serving juices to the users, having a healthy drink can strengthen
your immune system and a better mood. Also giving options on mixing 2(two) juices to make it more
delicious.



Methodology
We used the Rapid Application Development (RAD); this methodology focuses on developing
products faster with higher quality. When it comes to gathering requirements, it uses the workshop
method. Prototyping is used for getting clear requirements and re-use the software components to
accelerate the development timelines. Source from:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/management_concepts/project_management_methodologies.htm.



There are four phases; the first phase is the Requirement Planning phase, wherein we planned
on what we needed to do, research on possible materials that can be used, and some we improvised.
We also do research about Visual Basic 6.0, to make an interesting and user friendly Graphical User
Interface. Next is the User Design phase, where we need to make it simple as possible, also imagining
that the system will be using a touch screen module like the Vending Load Machine. Also making it fruity
colored. Then the Construction phase, we made the a program codes possible with the Visual Basic 6.0,
by sending and receiving signals with the use of the parallel port. While constructing the program, we
also constructed the machine, wherein we develop ways to make results of the output given in the
parallel port to the LED lights and Solenoid, and the input to the parallel port from the coin detector and
cup detector. Lastly, the Cutover phase, where we finalize the project, getting it ready to be presented.
