[tech] Snack machine FITH

[Andrew Adamson]

Hi All,

Nick, Jordan and myself just did some manual testing on the snack machine 
- it's quite unhappy. Some slots hardly rotate, some rotate when other 
slots are actuated...and it's just generally all fucked up. I'd say there 
is a pinched or frayed cable/connection that is somewhere upstream of the 
row/slot multiplexing - hopefully it's not the controller.

I don't think the machine is usable for dispensing snacks, but it's still 
good for door and coke, so I've just commented out all the snack items in 
the config for now. If someone would like to try and work out where the 
problem is, all the wiring/documentation for the machine is in the folder 
on the coffee table or at http://mtearle.ucc.asn.au/vend-scans/
