Having a fully automated cotton candy vending machine in your possession is a great thing, but not if you do not have full access to its software. We previously covered the journey in getting the vending machine back into a state where it’d actually reliably produce cotton candy again, a process which is quite tedious and temperamental. Despite the very custom exterior, the vending machine runs what is effectively an Android system, consisting of an industrial computer board wired into a lot of stepper drivers and other control boards. After nearly bricking the system and ending up factory resetting the control software including temperatures, it actually improved the performance of the machine and produced cotton candy, so that was one win. This resulted in a custom settings menu being added with the ability to modify pricing, no need for online access any more and a very nice cotton candy vending machine for the private arcade where presumably friends and family can enjoy cheap or even free cotton candy.
