ARDUINO SMART FOOD ORDERING MACHINE

Projects General Guidance
1

Good day Guys :slight_smile: Im newbie in arduino but i have the basic knowledge of programming for it.I have a project name ARDUINO SMART FOOD ORDERING MACHINE. Im going to use a TFT Touchscreen , Arduino Mega , Coin and bill acceptor and Thermal printer reciept. All food choices are displayed in the machine as the layout describes below. The mechanism is every food menu has its own push button and when I press the button , the name of the menu and food order will pop up in the tft screen. My problem is I want that there is a menu button in the TFT LCD Touchscreen that can edit the name of the food and set the new price for the food display so that it can be configure to any food displayed in the machine and It can be accessed by admin only. How is that possible to Arduino ? and can you share some commands/code to be used to accept new input commands for setting the price and food name in TFT LCD and saved in arduino ? NOTE: For those who wants to help and give their idea and tips only . Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

Even if I have code I wouldn't be sharing it with you.

Do some work of your own first!

If you can't, then pay someone to do the work.

Personally, I think the LAST thing you need to worry about is being able to change the food descriptions and prices.

I would have that data stored in a file on a SD card. Open the machine, remove the SD card, pop it into a PC, upload a new file, and viola! new names and new prices.

Paul S - Thanks for your answer :slight_smile: I think thats my option to save the prices in sd card :slight_smile:

Im not asking for someone to give their code forcefully and even build my machine :slight_smile: Im just seeking for advice and tips on how to solve my problem :slight_smile: Thanks in advance to those who willing to share their knowledge :slight_smile: I think my problem is to change and edit the set food description and its price in arduino that will pop up in my TFT :slight_smile: Thanks to those who willing to give their advice and tips :slight_smile:

I just want to ask for help , advice or suggestions on how can I start to make a webserver as kitchen server for my project "ARDUINO FOOD ORDERING MACHINE".
1.What material should I use to have a web server ?
2. Whats best web server and data base for beginners like me?
3. Tips, before I make a Web server , what are the things I should know first ?

  1. Not an Arduino.

  2. Also not an Arduino.

  3. Maybe ask on a webserver and database forum.

@morgan - I think its related to arduino since the webserver will be part of arduino data. ty for your reply

@Emsy23, stop cross-posting. Only warning.

11

I think you need to explain more about your project than just the name.

12

If the machine itself is to do the web serving part, look at the ESP8266 or ESP32 processors. Web server and WiFi connectivity built in.

Hi Thanks for every responses here , do really appreciate :slight_smile: Im on my half way in my project and today I am discovering how can I send data from arduino to a webserver and I am using now an ESP-01 connected to arduino . Can you give me some tips and advice what to do first ?

14

What does the webserver do?
Where is the webserver located?
Why does the arduino send data to it and what data does it send?

Ask yourself the question, "do I really need that Arduino, isn't it more convenient to use a NodeMCU or NodeMCU32 instead?".
