- Protocol Specifications for the MDB (Multi Drop Bus) File:Mdb version 4-2.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
- more makerspace fun (with code)
Information from the Mfr.

- Manual
- Service Bulletins
- Package Vending Specifications
