Matemat
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Matemat is a vending machine for carbonated soft drinks.
|
||
|
|
Its hardware and software were designed by members of the
|
||
|
|
(Chaostreff Basel)[1] and released in the form of circuit
|
||
|
|
diagrams, printed circuit board layouts and source code
|
||
|
|
for anyone to use and modify.
|

|
|
|

Under certain restrictions, even commercial exploitation is
|
||
|
|
permissible. Please see the accompanying LICENSE file for
|
||
|
|
details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The name "Matemat" is a portmanteau of "mate" (as in mate
|
||
|
|
tea) and "automat" (as in the German word for vending
|
||
|
|
machine). It was devised specifically to dispense mate tea
|
||
|
|
based soft drinks, but may be used for other types of
|
||
|
|
beverages as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the first Matemat prototype to be bult, an old vending
|
||
|
|
machine with built in refrigerator was repurposed.
|

The software source code can be (downloaded separately)[2].
