A system and method for calibrating a vending apparatus is provided. A vertical base reference position of a selector arm is stored, wherein the vertical base reference position corresponds to one of a plurality of rows in a cylindrical storage device. A horizontal base reference position is stored, wherein the horizontal base reference position corresponds to a compartment identifier identifying a compartment within each of the plurality of rows. A position of the selector arm corresponding to a media storage compartment is also stored, wherein the position comprises a vertical position and a horizontal position. A motor is initiated to move the selector arm along a vertical axis, wherein a movement of the selector arm results in one of an increment and/or a decrement to the vertical position of the selector arm. A stepper motor is initiated to rotate the cylindrical storage device, wherein a rotation of the device results in one of an increment and/or a decrement to the horizontal position of the selector arm.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de calibrage d'un distributeur. Une position de référence de base verticale d'un bras de sélection est stockée, correspondant à une rangée d'une pluralité de rangées d'un dispositif de stockage cylindrique. Une position de référence de base horizontale est stockée, correspondant à un identificateur de compartiment identifiant un compartiment dans chacune de la pluralité de rangées. Une position du bras de sélection correspondant à un compartiment de stockage multimédia est également stockée, comprenant une position verticale et une position horizontale. Un moteur est activé pour déplacer le bras de sélection le long d'un axe vertical, le mouvement du bras de sélection augmentant et/ou réduisant la position verticale du bras de sélection. Un moteur pas à pas est activé pour faire tourner le dispositif de stockage cylindrique, la rotation du dispositif augmentant et/ou réduisant la position horizontale du bras de sélection.
