[tech] Snack machine MIFARE reader

[frekk]

Hi all,

As some of you may be aware the card reader on the snack machine has been unreliable of late and has been causing problems when attempting to use the machine.

On Monday I opened up the machine and found the power supply for the card reader was completely dead. Replacing it with a spare 5V/1A plugpack seems to have fixed the issue, and to my knowledge the intermittent crashes have also been resolved.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to re-do the cable management inside the machine so the power cable for the card reader is not bundled up with the other cables quite as neatly as it should be, nor has the original IEC C7 cable for the now broken power supply been removed. If anyone has some spare time, a socket bit and a torch then please feel free to have a go.

Best regards,
Felix von Perger [FVP]
