More Details
Slave mode can be used to connect payment methods like mobile payment or card readers to your Vending Machine Controller (or VMC for short)
Your Qibixx MDB-USB Interface will connect your VMC to a peripheral and will answer to requests from the VMC only when prompted. It can answer, for example, how many money “it has” on credit. If a payment was made, etc.
Slave mode is also used for Sniffing the MDB Bus. You can learn everything about Sniffing and Monitoring the MDB Bus by clicking here!
