Design of a low cost coin acceptor for vending machine
Coin acceptor is a device that receive and identifies the validity of the coin. It works by analyzing the coin it received based on its mass, size, diameter, thickness, metal composition, and then sends an appropriate signal through the output connection. However, the cost of purchasing the device i...
