This project is to design a dispenser system which can be used in reality. This system is designed to dispense items based on the customer’s choice. It detects coins inserted to allow customer press the button choices based on their needed so that the system dispenses the item. It is designed by using finite state machine mainly including other parts or circuit in order to make it fully operate dispenser system machine. The controller of the dispenser system is including finite state machine and data path which connected with signal that has been control by control unit. Moreover, the system has been written in Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) to describe all the behaviour. Therefore, this project is also concentrate how to design a complete system in HDL based on the requirement. It has been synthesized by Xilinx ISE software while ModelSim® PE is used for the simulation.
