This will set the machine to free vend and will continue to track usage.
- Push red button on inside board
- Go to "PASS"
- Pres "Ent+4+2+3+1+Ent"
- Go to "Prlc"
- Go to "ALL"
- Adjust price to "0.00"
- Hit ENT
- Close Door

MDB
- What is MDB (DEX vs. MDB)
- requires an account to read, but a good article --Omegix 15:37, 4 November 2010 (CDT)
- Protocol Specifications for the MDB (Multi Drop Bus) pdf
- See Chapter 7 of above PDF for designing a cashless interface
- To be well designed, MDB devices should have a Y-connector built into them so that devices can piggy back onto the bus. See pictures in this document for example
- Talking to a vending machine over mdb using arduinos
- another makerspace's solution to cashless transactions (https://github.com/NottingHack/Vend/blob/master/Vend.ino)
- MDB Sniffer
Information from the Mfr.
Service bulletins, Package info, etc from Royal Vendors (possibly the manufacturer). Our machine is a GIII
