Bluestreak Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Hello, I don't know exactly what I've got here, the manuals say "Vendnet". I'm pretty stumped . All drinks flash "Make another selection" when attempting to vend. I've got the manual for both sides, but it's not real clear how to troubleshoot. I assume I might have a bad drop sensor? Or possibly something wrong in the harness? Can anyone help me with a troubleshooting procedure for this problem or how to test the drop sensor? I read something about putting the machine in service mode for a few seconds to clear the sold out condition. I've tried that to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Bluestreak Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 That is so helpful. Thank you! I had the exact same symptoms, Only the 12 motors on the snack side were recognized. I did not ohm out my harness, Just guessing that I have the same bad drop sensor board. I reflowed all the connector connections and tested the capacitor with an ESR meter but that didn't fix it. Ordered a new board from Vendnet this morning. Crossing my fingers that will do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake05 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Don't forget to do a motor count and adjust the drop sensor when you get the new board in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 You could also have a bad umbilical harness to the soda machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluestreak Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 Update... First of all Vendnet is super slow to ship. It took almost 2 weeks to get the drop sensor board. Upon installation, all 18 motors were recognized. I adjusted the drop sensor as per the manual and everything is working now, Thanks for all the help. I made a small donation to help keep the servers up. Now how many sodas am I going to have to sell to pay for that $275 board? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
