Pendulum in a ring works as a tilt switch. Actually a plumb bob on a bit of flexible cable. Very fine flexible multi-strand cable can be had as bead stringing wire in a crafts store. Solder this into a drilled ball bearing and make your ring as close tolerance to that as you want for sensitivity. Sensitivity can be adjusted by raising or lowering the ball in the fixed ring. These could be an input to your Arduino. |

Vsteam same idea as me but I thought the tilt switch would have a 45 degree angle that way the sensitivity could be set by raising or lowering the ring and as far as weight versus spring either one would work. Although the weight / counterbalance can be more finetuned wheras the spring is constant. |

Hi Chaps... just a bit of an update. I`ve not been in much so have been working on the code side for the change machine I`m building into it. Purchased a 10p hopper and connected that to an arduino: Then I purchased a coin acceptor off ebay and connected that to an arduino: Next step is to make the hopper and coin acceptor talk to each other! I`ve also built in some genuine coin shoots which also checks the coins are the correct ones! Pictures to follow. Chris |
