MDB Pi Hat VMC

The Qibixx MDB Pi Hat VMC is a reliable and universal MDB solution that, when combined with a Raspberry Pi can serve as a Vending Machine Controller.

This device Combines the MDB Controller which can be used to control the several peripherals as defined in the MDB Specification with the I/O Capability that can be used to control the vending Machine Mechanics and read Inputs from sensors or similar devices.

It is an all in one solution for the handling of both MDB Peripherals and the VMC of the operation, making it a cost effective product to design a fully customized vending machine.
