DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN FSM-BASED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AUTOMATIC CANDY VENDING MACHINE
Keywords:
.Abstract
. This paper presents the design and implementation of a finite state machine (FSM) based control system for an automaticcandy vending machine. The vending machine accepts three types of coins: nickels (5 cents), dimes (10 cents), and quarters (25 cents),and it dispenses candy once the total value of coins deposited reaches 25 cents or more. The FSM is designed to monitor the incomingcoin inputs and maintain the current total amount of money deposited.
