Controlling a Coin Hopper with Arduino + Code

[@InsidetheArcade]

You have got some skills there mate. Get more vids on KZbin as your info is Golden. You definitely deserve more views and subs than you've got. Good Job Matey :)

New subscriber, Great Video, thanks for sharing. Shane

Спасибо. Отличное видео.

Good Job ...

[@zwack2097]

how about sir adding buttons, lcd and relay in this project?

[@Sharkiuli]

i have a problem, the motor starts, but doesn't stop, i went through all the steps, if i do it manually with 1 and 2(in serial) it works, but with the final code it doesn't stop the motor(i checked the connections), any help would be appreciated

[@Sharkiuli]

nevermind, i'm just STUPID.... in Serial window select : No line ending

[@carlosenriquevaldes]

Hi, i followed your code but with no success. sometimes the device dispenses less coins. I am assuming there is a faulty or bouncy sensor. how would you implement it on this scenario? iam controlling 3 devices with an arduino pro micro (because of the number of available interrupts), would you say is this a reliable device?

[@singymini9491]

Hey! I was just researching into this in order to make a Slot Machine. I was just wondering if you could provide a link to where you bought this? Thanks!

[@jpcontrol6759]

Asahi Seiko is the company who makes them. If you contact their sales team they can provide you with one. They are surprisingly affordable. I recommend purchasing the flying lead connector that goes with them so you can connect to your control system easily.

[@singymini9491]

Wow that was a quick response! I have emailed them. Do you know how much I am looking at (price wise) exactly as I am a teenager looking into this as an electronics project.

[@jpcontrol6759]

Your looking at around £70 each

Hi jpcontrol, Very nice video! Thank you. I was wondering if you knew the pin assignments of a 4 pin "blue coin hopper?" It is something I just purchased, but there seems to be no documentation on it.

[@riddles8888]

I know this is two years later but I was in the same place trying to find information about this blue coin hopper. For the one I have at least going from left to right Pin 1: 5v Pin 2: output Pin 3: gnd Pin 4: unused Pin 2 output NO(normally open) stays at .13v and goes to 3.7v when a coin passes NC(normally closed) stays at 2.9v and goes to .01 when a coin passes Hope this helps someone looking for this info at some point.

Hi can you help, NP hopper A3.. not paired ... deal or no deal machine..sch5.... please help

[@davejones6313]

Interesting information, I'm not really very familiar with Arduino, which I think you said 5 volts, I noticed the Hopper showed 24 volts, am I missing something ???

[@jpcontrol6759]

the hopper is powered from 24 volts off a bench power supply. The GND from the power supply is shared with the Arduino

[@davejones6313]

Okay thank you for that.

[@djpaulbailey]

Hi I've tried this and everything works apart from the last bit where I want it to dispense a number of coins when I type that number in serial....it doesn't seem to read anything from the sensor pin at that point...any ideas?

[@WorldwideArcades]

Hi, I have a programme on my laptop that I have made, it is like arcade reels, similar to Bar X. I have got the reels spinning, and it comes up with some winners, like X - X - X or BAR - BAR - BAR, where i want it to dispense 5x 10p coins from a hopper. Do you think there is anyway I could do this?

[@Messa5535]

How did it go?

[@WorldwideArcades]

@@Messa5535 Hi, I have built all of the machinery for it, I've just got to order all the arduino parts.

[@WorldwideArcades]

+ I couldn't find anyone to just check over the code + I got no reply from jp control, as I wanted to know where all of the wires go..!

[@GoodSoupCup]

But its been a year since you posted that comment, anyways.. could you post a video showing the inside? There are no tutorials online that i can find

[@WorldwideArcades]

@@GoodSoupCup And..... Ive been busy. A video of what?

[@ILyman]

HI, can you please make it so when i push a button it dispenses 5 coins or if i push button many times in a row multiples of 5? thanks

[@anythingunderthesun9930]

why bytes for the amounttodispense and not just normal integer?

[@softwaredevil6711]

A normal mid hopper can't support more than 100 to 200 coins inside, a byte is enought for this case

[@scorpionsawrus]

How about a coin acceptor a lcd and a coin hopper can you please make a tutorial?

[@InsidetheArcade]

I will be releasing a video on my channel with build and code for a change machine. i has LCD, coin mech and hopper. its been filmed, just editing now. SUB to get notified when video is live

[@warrenbalona9782]

hi, can i ask , is there a detector that it will inform you that your coin hopper is low on coins?

[@cameronmcgehee]

Just make it wait for a certain time and if no coins come out declare an error

[@cameronmcgehee]

But unless you made something like a plumbob that moves down and activates a switch when coins reach a low level, there is nothing natively on the hopper that will tell you.

[@cameronmcgehee]

Oh wait actually, you know those little pins on the plastic part? I don't know exactly how to use them, but I know you can send small amounts of current through them to see if coins are still in that area. When the coins get low, it will stop sending a signal. You could fool around with it though.

[@choloviloria5549]

hi sir, can you pls attached LCD.. thank you

[@paulvincent9744]

Can you do a change machine as the code on other places is not good

[@jpcontrol6759]

I did interface coin acceptor with an arduino but not for a coin changer. It will be straight forward to manipulate this code to include a coin acceptor. www.robotshop.com/uk/programmable-coin-acceptor.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwh8jrBRDQARIsAH7BsXe2mmbcEIHb_ceKGvnpJEDbcx33s7Uy2H4HP4kzOwyUg6KR_8HYED8aAgcEEALw_wcB These are perfect

[@collarfindermanagementcons4995]

The code doesn't stop. Please help me. Why is it not turning off? The relay module? :O

[@jpcontrol6759]

Double check wiring. It means that the pulse are not being counted by the software.

[@nicolasugrinovic2886]

Can this have a 1 coin precision? can that be controlled?

[@jpcontrol6759]

Yes it will eject exactly what you want

[@nicolasugrinovic2886]

@@jpcontrol6759 where can I get one of those coin hoppers? Do you have any good store?

[@jpcontrol6759]

You might find on ebay or go straight to manufacturer

[@ronaldbaldomarro6841]

what kind of arduino youve used for this project

[@jpcontrol6759]

I used a arduino mega for testing, any arduino with 5v compatability will work.

[@roshininair3092]

Hey...I'm completely new to all this. Is this the same as cctalk using Arduino for coin dispensers

[@InsidetheArcade]

this is different to ccTalk. cctalk sends more information to addresses of peripherals and are daisy chained like a LAN network.

[@jpcontrol6759]

Hello, double check all connections and if possible get hold of a multimeter to do any faultfinding.

[@ESGPanda]

When i send from the serial monitor the hopper doesnt stops after the amount of coins fell

[@jpcontrol6759]

Does the manual test work when you physically place a coin in the optical sensor and you recieve data on serial port?

[@ESGPanda]

It does. And i tried to do it like when i push the button the hopper turns and when i release it stops too. Also, I use a relay module to connect the hopper to the ac.
