gcobio Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Will a Nayax credit card reader work with an LCM snack vending machine? Does the chip in the control board need to be updated in order for the CC reader to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Maybe. My understanding is that some work and some don't. You do have to be running MDB so if you aren't then you are money behind in making it work. You would need an MDB harness and MDB coin mech and bill acceptor to start with. Then, while the card reader might work, you probably won't be able to get DEX data from it. Now you could perhaps upgrade to an InOne Technologies board but I don't believe their LCM board will run the can module so that is probably a no-go.

AngryChris Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 As long as you can install mdb components to the PCM, you can add a card reader to it, but it will not report cash sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeVendor Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I learned that this is the updated eprom for the the AP LCM to work with a CC reader. I have to buy one for my older LCM3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeVendor Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 My follow up question for my LCM 3 machine is the best spot to put the CC reader. the space above the keypad is SOLID metal. On some of my drink machines, I simply did the cut-outs on the plexiglass cover. The LCM is glass, so that’s a no go. Thanks for your help.

tblake05 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Did you plug it in first to make sure it would work before drilling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 On the LCM, both nayax and cantaloupe should have an option to mount a card reader to a mars/mei/cpi bill acceptor. No drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I will try it out first before any drilling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drilling. Wow, that would be nice. I did not know that existed. I bought the Nayax VPos touch, so I will reach out to Nayax to see about this mounting attachment.
