I have made a coin machine and I've got all the files at the bottom in a zip at the bottom of the page. I decided to do this because it controls a relay for swithing a stamp to play a game ect... PLease reply on this post as I liked making it and I thought parallax might make a coin machine and sell it for the basic stamp. Just an Idea.

    You should maybe post this in the Projects forum!

    At one point I was looking to build one from scratch but couldn't get past how to sort coins 1 at a time!

    I thought about magnetics and vibration tables....most people only want to drop a handfull in and be done with it...if they have to put one in at a time, then they can just take the time to count too!! haha

    You have the option to delete your message....and for the whole 2lines you entered...just copy and paste! tongue.gif

    Also, if you put it in the projects section, think about including the stamp code!

    It sounds like an interesting project. However, Can you provide more information on how it works? It appears to be a collection of separate pics with little or no info on how they link together.

    Thanks,

    I describe it to you...

    Place the IR LED and photo-transistor oposite eachother on the made coin slot have a look here and wire up the circuit. what happens is the coin goes through and switches off the photo transistor so it needs to be reversed (BC558 or similar PNP transistor) and the outputs on the relay are there. please reply if you need more info
