Vending Machine||candy Dispenser|| Arduino Bluetooth Controlled||DIY

In this instructable I show how to build a vending machine using an Arduino .

DO COMMENT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS INSTRUCTABLE, SO THAT I CAN IMPROVE IN MY FURTHER INSTRUCTABLES

have a look at the video tutorial for a better understanding of the entire tutorial.

Step 1: ​PARTS NEEDED:

☻JUMPER WIRES

☻CARDBOARD box(prefer small box as shown)

☻ARDUINO UNO

☻LAPTOP OR PC (FOR UPLOADING CODE TO ARDUINO)

☻POWER SUPPLY ( I USED A POWER BANK TO SAVE BATTERIES)

☻1 x geared motor

☻motor driver

Step 2: SOLDERING

solder two wires to the motor

Step 3: Drill a Small Hole

use the soldering iron to easily make a hole as shown

Step 4: Prepare the Holder for Candies

make spacing between two carboard pieces equal to the size of the candy...so that only one candy can fit within it

Step 5: ATTACH TO MOTOR

glue the cap and the holder(which looks like a gear) to the motor as shown

Step 6: Finishing for the Dispenser Body

glue an extra piece of cardboard

make a small window (candy will come out from here)

add a support (so that it does not fall off)

Step 7: MOTOR DRIVER

connect motor to the motor driver

also connect the power supply cable for the motor driver

Step 8: ARDUINO

connect the motor driver to the arduino

use pin 8,9 as shown

Step 9: Upload the Code

open the link to download the code and upload it to the Arduino :

Step 10: Connect Bluetooth Module

Configuration of Hc-05 Bluetooth module

* Rx-Tx

*Tx- Rx

*Vcc-5v

*Gnd-Gnd

Step 11: ACTION TIME

add a small paper tube (to stack the candies one above the other )and its ready to use.
