19th century with the help of modern technologies. The
word vending is a Greek word, which means selling. The first
modern commercial coin based vending machine was
introduced in London and England for the purpose of selling
postcards. The Vending machine is simply a machine, which
works automatically and can sell out canned soups, packed
eatables, chocolates, candies, snacks, even hot drinks such as
coffee, tea, hot chocolate and also drinks like juices, soda

B. Arduino
Arduino Uno is a 8-bit microcontroller board based on the
ATMega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6
can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz
quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP (In
Circuit Serial Programmer) header and a reset button. In this
system, Arduino microcontroller circuit serves as a data
processor that controls the motor connected to spiral spring.
