Venduino, Arduino Vending Machine

How to build a tiny vending machine from scratch. Parts: an Arduino Uno, four continuous rotation servos and a Nokia 5110 LCD.
The cutout on the top is for a clear window that I did not install for this video. Leaving it open allows for easy access when demoing the machine.
I am no longer selling kits: however this project is now open source! Version 2.0 video is here:

Link to the full code, CAD files, and circuit:

By far the best DIY, complete with coding and circuit picture!

Me before watching the video: "I'm gonna make a vending machine!!!!"

Me 4 minutes into the video: "Oh my god I wanna die."

You are without a shadow of a doubt one of the BEST I seen... THANKS SO MUCH! Your the man...

I love the dry humor! Glad your creation includes all necessary vending machine features, including things getting stuck :P

"What is this? A vending machine for ants?!"

Hey Vsauce, where do you get the wood made?

Hi. Very cool project. I want to add a bill acceptor and set the sensor to confirm the delivery of the goods . Maybe it's all on the Arduino or not? I would very much like to know your opinion.

"Hey Vsauce, Michael here!" Ahh face

Hi, I was wondering if you were able to suggest some learning material like tutorials that can get me started learning arduino and creating custom fabrications of my own. Thanks for the cool upload

I would love to see mini Vending machine but decorated to look like the all time most famous of Vending machines, The Japanese Vending Machine. It has bright colors and a lit face plate with the name of the machine. Maybe some flashing lights and what not would be cool.

Magnifique pour décorer sa maison, cela me rappel les années 1990 :)

Which software did you use for modelling the pieces?
What if you substitute servomotors for steppermotors, would it work as well?

The vending machine is great. I am planning on doing one with my little cousin. Thanks for sharing

Sir Ryan Bates, will the machine still work even without the logic converter? we will not use the LCD screen for the time being.

Wow I really need to make this one for my office.
I got the electronics at hand. Just missing the laser cut files.
Does anyone have that? Unfortunately I live halfway around the world and can't purchase it

Hello sir, I had purchased all items as per your list of materials for these project. while up loading the code to Arduino uno R3 board it is showing some errors. plz help me to complete these project. The error details are as follows.

Cool project. What laser cutter did you use for the wood frame?
