 INTRODUCTION
A vending machine is an automated machine that provides items such as snacks,
beverages, cigarettes and lottery tickets to consumers after money, a credit
card, or specially designed card is inserted into the machine.
Vending machines exist in many countries, and in more recent times, specialized
vending machines that provide less common products compared to traditional
vending machine items have been created.

The machines usually work, when some money (usually coins or paper money)
is put in a slot. Then, a button needs to be pushed, or a lever pulled. If there is
enough money, the selected item will be dropped to a tray, where it can be
taken out by the person making the purchase. Ticket vending machines will
print the ticket.

BLOCK DIAGRAM:

Cola vending machines have long been used for electronically powered vending
purposes in malls, theatres. These machines make use of electronic circuitry to
deliver products on accepting payments from the consumer. For this purpose
they have inbuilt circuitry with motors and a sensor based circuitry. Let’s us
study the working and fabrication of a cola vending machine using this
demonstration system of a small vending machine. The project makes use of a
custom fabricated frame using a vending setup fitted with motors and
authentication system. The authentication system consists of a coin based
authenticator. It detects the coin inserted by user and verifies if it is a valid coin.
In case of valid coin detection a signal is sent to the internal circuitry which also
consists of a microcontroller. The microcontroller now operates the motors to
dispense a cola bottle in case of a valid coin else reject the coin if found invalid.
The motors are fixed in a cabin and are fixed with an outlet shaft which releases
a cola can in case the motor is operated.
