Sounds good, though I don't need it now. If you leave it in the machine
with whatever software you want on it, I'll start hacking on software
for it.

I'll be happy to take a crack at that, I need to work on cutter/CNC design.
Speaking of that, if anybody has any recommendations (tutorials,
videos, apps) I'm all eyes.

Awesome! What we need really isn't all that complicated, as long as it
fits, looks cool, and has convenient places to bolt a Pi and maybe power
supply. We're going to need to run all the ethernet and power cables
along the bottom of the vending machine's doors, so we can open it
without ripping a bunch of wiring out.
I've gotten the button panel wired up and connected to terminals in a
vaguely sane fashion, including the power wires someone so
inconsiderately snipped off. It might still need ground wiring, I don't
know? It looks like the buttons pull low when closed, but honestly I
didn't test it that much... I'd appreciate it if someone who knows what
they are doing looked at it.
Thanks,
Simon
