My son wants to be able to regulate it (as do I) meaning, only a specific “code” (number) typed into the keypad then it will take the dollar for the piece of candy (candy bar or whatever) and servo will dispense it. I have code for each of these separately, but just unsure how to put it all together to make it work.
