  1. On my Saeco Intellia HD8753, there are two inputs to the “out of bean” indicator. The first is the hall sensor (counts rotations) and the second is a current sensor (on the circuit board??). I have found that if one properly calibrates the grinding wheels, and holds the grinding shaft, I can bypass the out-of-bean indicator. My working hypothesis is that the additional load on the motor increases the current required to turn the grinder. Increased current means there’s beans. further, this technique only works 3 times in a row before consistently coming up “out of bean” I suspect it’s an over temperature problem. After some time… the technique it works again. So, does anyone know how to increase the current draw of the motor? Or point to the relevant current sense circuit on HD8753 board so I can add a heat sink? otherwise I’m switching to pre-ground beans
