Claim 7:
8. A method of retrofitting a machine to provide external access to one or more electronic peripheral devices of the machine, the method comprising:
at an electronic device including a wireless transceiver, one or more processors, non-transitory memory, a slave interface configured to couple the electronic device to a machine controller of the machine, and a host interface configured to couple the electronic device to a first peripheral device of the one or more electronic peripheral devices of the machine, wherein the first peripheral device is configured to communicate via a multi-drop bus (MDB) protocol and is decoupled from the MDB of the machine:
registering the electronic device as a slave to the machine controller;
registering the first peripheral device as a slave to the electronic device;
receiving, from a mobile device via the wireless transceiver, a request to access signals generated by the first peripheral device;
validating the request, wherein validation of the request indicates that the mobile device is authorized, by a remote server, to access the signals generated by the first peripheral device; and
sending a first reset command to the first peripheral device via the host interface, wherein the first reset command includes a directive to update a signal destination address of the first peripheral device from a controller address of the machine controller to a device address of the electronic device.
