== Project scope ==
Our goal is to build a slightly different beverage can vending machine.
* Cans usually are thrown down by gravity. Ours will rise up with a lift for an easy pick.
* New concepts to operate the machine as well as current payment methods. We discuss using mobile phones (NFC/APP).
* Design, look and function will be extraordinary appealing to suit at events or at hotel lobbies.
* Hardware and software will be Open Source.
'''We are still looking for collaboration, supporters and participants for the described modules'''
== Concept ==
The idea for the new vending machine concept is born in a vitual space. The project will bring the design to our physical world.
The current design exists on [http://www.marbleisle.com:9000/wifi/user/account/ Marble Isle],
a virtual 3D world based on [http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page OpenSimulator].

== Modules ==
=== Inner Structure ===
* Objective: inexpensive material, easy to carry (initial prototype made of wood for functional testing)
=== Casing ===
* Aluminium (weight ...)
=== Can Lift ===
* Objective: Transport the cans up approx. 1,2m / 4 feet
* Prototyping
** water tubing
** Transport via belts
** Options: threaded rods, bicycle gears, ... in discussion

=== Usability ===
* Objective: Operating via Android touchdisplay at the case, as well as Near Field Communication (NFC/Text/App.)
* Initial Prototyp: Microcontroller via ten-key and alphamerical display
** 2nd step: Android OS Tablet or smart phone as component of the vending machine
** internal communication via Bluetooth
=== Payment ===
* Objective: several payment options as coupons, lotteries, micropayments, Apps
** Android App.
** Near-Field-Communication
** Text/SMS
** Barcodes or coupon codes
* [https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions Open Transactions]
=== Microcontrollers ===
* Objective: Robust control units using Microcontrollers
** e.g. motor control, display, LED, momentary switches
** Arduino
** Stepper or DC motors
** error condition detection and feedback
=== Power supply ===
* Objective: 110/230 Volt power supply for all components
** few voltages, e.g. 12 Volt + 5 Volt ?
