High school students turn lockers into vending machines popular

Blake Hawkins, a high school student in Kansas City, USA, became popular on the Internet for converting idle lockers into beverage vending machines. Hawkins made use of the unused lockers in the school and DIY converted it into a functioning soda vending machine. It was found only after opening the locker door. It was very creative! It is understood that this vending machine is mainly made of Arduino base board and battery, which is completely different from most usual vending machines, and it is made according to the size of the locker. You may not believe that middle school students can design and build a vending machine by themselves. For this reason, Hawkins has published the entire production process on Instructables, not only explaining in detail the components, programs and assembly methods that need to be used, but even the assembly process. The problems encountered are listed one by one. Due to the size, this locker vending machine can only provide two types of drinks, and there is no change, and the correct amount must be entered. However, this machine has many special features, such as anti-theft function, which can distinguish between real and fake coins. In addition, the locker will automatically close after use. In addition, the structure of the locker itself has not been changed or damaged during the setting, and the special wiring position to avoid drilling, etc. shows that the overall design is not sloppy at all! In the video uploaded by Blakely to the video website YouTube, it can be seen that his chemistry teacher tried the beverage vending machine in the locker. It is reported that the vending machine is very popular with students. The above information is provided by the vending machine. Please mark the reprint
