Integration checklist: what we need to spec a board
Most quoting delays come from the same handful of missing facts. Gather these before you write to us and the first reply can be a real answer instead of a list of questions.
About the machine
- What the machine sells and how it dispenses — pumps, valves, augers, spirals, brewing group.
- Manufacturer and model, if it is an existing machine rather than your own build.
- Whether you are replacing the controller or adding a module alongside it.
About payment
- Which payment devices are already fitted, with make and model.
- Which interface they use: MDB, ccTalk, CCNET, pulse — or unknown, which is a fine answer.
- Whether cash has to be accepted, or cashless and QR only.
- Which acquirer and which fiscal service you intend to use, if fiscalization applies.
About the site
- Network available at the machine: Ethernet, Wi-Fi or mobile only.
- Indoor or outdoor, and the temperature range the electronics will see.
- Sensors that must be read: flow, temperature, level, TDS, door and jam switches.
About the order
- Quantity for the first batch and the expected annual volume.
- Target market — it decides the fiscal and language requirements.
- Whether you need your own branding on the interface, and in which languages.
Pinouts, terminal assignments and firmware notes are tied to a specific board revision, so we send them directly rather than publish a page that can go stale. Tell us the machine and we will send the matching set.
