=======

|
|
|
The Matemat is a vending machine for carbonated soft drinks.
|
|
All hardware and software was designed by members of
|
|
(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" (the German word for vending machine).
|
|
|
|
The device is mainly intended to dispense mate tea based
|
|
soft drinks, but may be used for other types of beverages
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
To build the first prototype, an old vending machine with
|
|
a cooled bottle compartment was repurposed.
|
|
|
|
The software source code can be (downloaded separately)[2].
