ByteBites - The Makerspace Vending machine project!

Hi, and welcome to ByteBites!

The aim of this project is to document some of the technical details of how the vending machine works and how we have modified it to suite Makerspace better.

It is a Polyvend 491 machine (also seems to have lots of similarity with the Crane series)

Capacity: Three spiral-vend shelves + 2 x 3-chilled can dispensers.

• Tray A - 4 items, A0, A2, A4, A6
