== 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 and for the payment. We discuss new approaches using mobile phone apps.
* Our machine form and function will be attractive to set it up at events or in the lobby of a hotel.
* Hardware and software of our machines are Open Source!
'''We are still looking for supporters to participate in the below-described modules!'''
== Concept ==
The idea for the new vending machine concept was born in a vitual space. The project will bring the design to our physical world.
The current design lives on [http://www.marbleisle.com:9000/wifi/user/account/ Marble Isle],
a virtual 3D world based on [http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page OpenSimulator].

=== Usability ===
* Objective: Steuerung am Automaten mit Touchdisplay sowie per Handy/Tablet etc. per App
* zunächst Prototyp: Microcontroller per Zehnertastatur und alphanummerischem Display
** später: Tablet oder Smartfone "fest" im Automaten integriert --> Android
** interne Kommunikation z.B. per Bluetooth
=== Payment ===
* Objective: Many payment options, like coupons, lotteries, micropayments, Apps
** Android Apps
** Near-Field-Communication
** 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 ?

= OLD - we switch to English Jan 2011 =
To allow international contacts we will switch project documentation to English / 2011-01-15
== Ziel des Projekts ==
* Hard- und Software des Automaten sind Open Source!
