Make A WiFi Vending Machine Using Raspberry Pi
Create a coin-operated WiFi vending machine with few simple steps. You can also download the guide in PDF format.
Warning:
This is a DIY (do it yourself) product. We do not have a dedicated support in case some of your wirings or components are not working. You can join our community and ask questions if you are having difficulty following this guide.
Step 1: Prepare the materials needed
If you don't have the coin acceptor yet, you can still proceed to install the software and configure your wifi vending machine as long as you have araspberry pi,power supply(for raspberry pi) and amicro SD card. You won't be able to test the payment functionality though.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or B+
Universal Coinslot / Multi-coin Acceptor
Others
4GB (or higher) Micro SD Card - class 6 or 10 (important)
Micro SD Card Reader
Important: The micro SD card must be of high quality. Use Sandisk Ultra or Samsung Evo
Raspberry Power Supply
12 Volts DC Power Supply
12V DC at least 1A output power supply.
This is used to power the coin acceptor. You must identify the positive and ground terminal using voltmeter.
Step 2: Software Installation
Needed softwares:
Download and install Etcher to your computer.
Download Ado Piso WiFi Raspbian Image
After downloading the needed softwares, we need to flash the installer into the midro SD card using Etcher. To do so, unzip the contents ofadopisowifi.zip
Insert the micro SD card into the your computer using a card reader.
Open Etcher and click Select Image.
Then select adopisowifi-(version).img from the zip file.

Insert the SD card into the raspberry sd slot.
Insert the LAN cable into the ethernet port of raspberry pi and make sure it is connected to internet
Note: You don't have to insert a monitor to the HDMI port.
Turn on the raspberry pi and wait for the AdoPisoWifi WiFi network to appear, it may take a couple of minutes.
Connect to the wifi network using your laptop or smartphone. Once connected, open a browser and go to http://10.0.0.1/admin
