Arduino alert!

Really interesting Interactive Vending Machine by Ellie Harrison.

Everytime the recession is mentioned on the BBC the vending machine in the Viewpoint Gallery gives out free food.

I am thinking that this is being done in a very similar way to the twitter bubblino machine, with a microcontroller constantly checking and relaying info from a website, in this case the BBC RSS feed. RSS feeds are constantly being updated, esp on such a busy site as the BBC. Perfik.

Annoying machine update - shields ordered and shipped. circuitry confusion at a controllable level. for now.
