imbatronics Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi.I would be greatly appreciated if someone can help me out.I have a ICT bill acceptor (V7E), coin acceptor (CC6100), and a small coffee vending machine from Korea (DSK-C10-FA).The coffee vending machine originally had a very simple coin mechanism without any change giving function, so it just get an 'ok' signal from coin mech. The coffee vending machine doesn't have a industrial standard VMC.I need to connect these up to make it into a proper 'vending' machine.I am thinking of using Arduino to act like a VMC. So the Arduino communicates with the bill/coin acceptors and after it's done its computations it send an 'ok' signal to the vending machine.So to sum it up, basically I need to connect the ICT bill acceptor (V7E) and coin changer (CC6100) to Arduino to coffee vending machine.example: bill/coin acceptor <-------> Arduino ---'ok'-------> Coffee vending machineAny thoughts, suggestions, tips and possible solutions would be greatly appreciated!

AZVendor Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm sorry I can't give you any help with this. Are you outside the US? You're joining the ranks of those trying to get a machine to do something it wasn't designed to do (and a foreign one at that), while you could be locating a real industry-standard machine that already works and making money with it.

I am located at South Africa. I was trying to get a machine which can draw 12oz cup of coffee and bean to cup. The only way to accommodate my need was to spend $75000 per machine (prices here are ridiculous) or create my own coffee vending machine... Hoped someone has already done something similar and help me out to solve this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Your coin mech is a 24 volt coin mech, not sure how its going to work with an arduino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imbatronics Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Your coin mech is a 24 volt coin mech, not sure how its going to work with an arduino The bill acceptor and coin changer runs off 34V DC power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
