Vending Machine + Photo booth
The project is "Vending machine + Photo Booth" that is used in the events. The guests can take a gift and picture during the registration. it will make the event more professional and fantastic.
I am working at company that makes events in medical field, So I want to add this feature in the events.
Regarding photo booth, I was inspired by this idea from a big event I attended, our supplier was an Indian company that brought this photo booth. But for the machine, I searched on instructables about ideas related to the events and found this idea and it is very creative idea.
I will call this project "Umut Kalir".
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
the machine will welcome with people by showing "Hello, take your gift" once the guest be near to it because I will add sensor that will sense the movement of the guest.
Then the responsible will ask the guest to scan the QR-code in just he scan it and fill the registration form, the camera will take his picture and then the message will show again "Hello, take your gift", He can click on a push button that will choose randomly a gift from 4 options, Once he click in the button, the gift will come to him in a box below.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of
Construction Parts
Parts of wood to make the body and the head. I will use Fusion 360 for designing the shape then will use the Plywood (3mm) to make this shape by using the laser cutter.
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
Power Switch
Push Button
Ultrasonic Sensor
Bluetooth Module
Outputs
LCD Screen
RGB LEDs
DC motors
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
The led screen will show welcome sentence when anyone be near to it.
In just the person click on the push button, the gift will come to him using the dc motor.
Brain
ARDUINO UNO that processes the input and send the orders to generate the actions.

Power Management
Battery - 9v Adaptor
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
The machine will give a gift to the user
Action: DC motor
Sensing: None
User Input: Push button
It shows a sentence in the LCD screen when the user be near to the machine
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: Ultrasonic sensor
User Input: None
Complete User Features
Arduino LEDs will switch on with colors brightness for interaction via Bluetooth module
Action: Arduino LEDs
Sensing: Bluetooth module
User Input: None
Nice-to-have User Features
when the user scan the code and submit the registration, the camera will take a picture to the user directly
Action: Camera
Sensing: None
User Input: On/Off button
