The slot was empty earlier on today (as was slot 1) and the light didn't come on for slot 5, but did for slot 1. Apologies if this has already been reported and I missed it. As I recall, these bulbs burn out fairly frequently... I remember somebody suggesting a bug-tracking system for the UCC -- does one exist yet?

As I > recall, these bulbs burn out fairly frequently... Yes, so the slot 0 neon is dying; and the slot 5 neon is dead. They were replaced at the start of February 2008, three months ago... There are spares in the metal pocket inside the machine. They use a current limiting resistor - maybe replace it with a resistor that's twice as big and see if the light is still bright enough. > I remember somebody suggesting a bug-tracking system for the UCC -- > does one exist yet?

I am slowly going through my backlog of email. > A while ago Nick Bannon tapped: [Coke machine empty detection] Please tell me that the empty detection has been changed at some point in the last couple of years. The quick hack job I did back in 2001(?) was never intended to last this long. As an aside, I have a load of 110V to 5V stepdown transformers used for projects where I used to work - but never implemented. I need to unsolder them from the boards they are attached to but otherwise they should be as new. If someone wants to go down this route of designing a board, I'll raise the priority of having them sent to WA. Current priority is some time in the future. Of course, for a more rapid service, you could come and get them from me! :) Simon -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Well, an engineer is not concerned with the truth; that is left to philosophers and theologians: the prime concern of an engineer is the utility of the final product."
