Coins are assigned a number of pulses, then when a coin is inserted, the output will pulse and the unit will consider diameter, thickness, speed etc to determine if it's a valid coin or whether someone's trying to pull a fast one!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acceptor comes complete with mounting hardware and a cable for power\/signal. An instruction sheet is also included. You'll need a bag of each coin type to 'train' the acceptor (~20).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce set up, you can connect a 10K resistor from the white wire to your Arduino's VCC line (5V), then insert coins to validate that the coin line pulses high for about 40 milliseconds the right number of times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdafruit has a great tutorial on using these kinds of devices to make an Electronic Piggy bank!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-collapse collapse in-md in-lg\" id=\"technical-details\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognition Rate: 95%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognition Speed: 0.6 second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower requirements: 12VDC (+- 20%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking current: ~50mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak current: ~350mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts coins from 15mm to 29mm in diameter and 1.8mm to 3mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable for up to six different coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not work with coins that have 'holes' in the centre!
