ccTalk tutorial, ccTalk on Arduino nano part 3 coin acceptor example
This time I will use the previous code to setup, run the coin acceptor and listen for coin inserted and events. For the hardware setup and software used see the last two posts. A link to the source...

This time I’ve got the data from a real coin acceptor into the Arduino coin emulator, an old Money Controls SR3 coin acceptor. SR3 is obsolete now so if you need a replacement just for tests you have...
