Introduction

We use ARC as our user terminal and connect to the server, which is implemented with cloud data management and smart selling system. Peripheral devices and sensors are added to the ARC exp. WiFi, temperature sensor, OLED and many more.

Our vending machine system provides maintainance issue related to vending machine, such as auto-checking for food expired date, temperature overheat detecting. Other than that, vending machine is connected to database which users are allow to use their id for payment without physical bills or coins, and the machine will recommend what to buy depending on the purchase records of that user. The reason why our machine is different from others, the system administrator can get the information by signing in far away from the vending machine; the costomer can pay cashlessly. With e-payment, according to the purchase record of customer or other information, our machine can easily give some recommand after some operation, which can effectively decrease the time for customer making decision and interact with interest.

User Manual

Before Running This Application

Firstly, download source code of vending machine from GitHub.

Run the server_side code

  1. open the Apache HTTP server .
  2. Secure your site with HTTPS(openssl etc...), you should also put the certificae file into the arc board so that it can update data via HTTPS.
    • in file embarc_osp-master/middleware/mbedtls/library/certs.c
    • change the content of const char mbedtls_test_cli_crt_rsa[]
  3. import projectarc.sql into phpmysql(Data Base)
  4. register a new user account from our website.
  1. change the value 'Authority' in the table 'sign_data' to 1.
  2. sign in to enter the main website.

Launch VSCode IDE

/ARC_VSCODE/StartVSCode.bat Launch StartVSCode.bat to run this vending machine application. After launching VScode, right click on the workspace and choose add Folder in the path ../ARC_VSCODE/vending-machine to workspace.

Wi-Fi hotspot connnection settings

Modify the ssid and password of Wi-Fi AP in ../embarc_osp-master/board/emsk/emsk.h to connect Wi-Fi module to the hotspot

#define WF_HOTSPOT_NAME             "EMBARC"
#define WF_HOTSPOT_PASSWD           "12345678"

Entering Main

After Wi-Fi connected, FREERTOS rises all tasks including communication, oled, temperature, blinky, number pad and DC motor.
