    I guess it could make sense to have a small computer in a Slurpee machine to check the temperature and the consistency of the ice, maybe do some maintenance, but yeah. Paper tags would make a lot more sense.

      I can see having a single node in the whole machine, but one per mix makes me think this photo is doctored. Then again an esp32 is pretty damn cheap.

        Very odd, I’d have thought it’s a single system too, surely there’s a lot of shared signals, like temperature, cleaning and whatnot.
        The only reason for those to be individual with another ‘parent’ system is that it would be fully modular?

        I’d be interested in the actual answer/reason…
