Vending machine
24 v AC for all motors, on the back of each thing, switch is closed when the motor is at home position, screw is top dead center, off those limit switches each row is on its own ground. All the wires are white, none are labeled, had a bunch of wiring diagrams in the bottom of it but they got trashed when the water tank leaked last summer.
Inside the panel is 2 sets of 5V relays, driven by the Mega, was going to be driven over USB, but Gabe has some USB relay drivers for it
Didn't like LCD in there, didn't have the driver working right, Gabe has a nicer one.
Gabe has a dollar acceptor, it gives a 30 ms pulse for every dollar put into it, serial protocol that's proprietary, gabe hasn't reverse engineered it.
For each rack: One communal ground goes across the board, one wire is ground for relays, one ground for limit switches, then one for each motor, eight total. All limit switches in parallel? Maybe.
