Can you Modify the upper part so that it will accept Euro Coins? For Euros you probably only need to change the size of the hole here are the sizes/diameters of the different Euro Coins if this helps: 1cent - 16.25mm 2cent - 18.75mm 10cent - 19.75mm 5cent - 21.25mm 20cent - 22.25mm 1euro - 23.25mm 50cent - 24.25mm 2euro - 25.75mm
Very nice project and practical too. May be you can explain to us how you do your 3D printer time-laps , components needed, set-up and code if at all possible as you seem very good at explaining things.
i am planning to benefit from this project for my school project which is venging machine. i am just a beginner, so can you tell me why did you select to use arunio nano but not ardunio uno?
See what you've created is neat, tidy, well designed and works well. But I have a problem with it - or more specifically with you the designer. Given that the government / bank of england like to change our coins (and sizes) every few years, why have you not made a replaceable filter for the top for the coins? - or even better, an adjustable one? - Use some stepper motors and you could even have your sorter set them up automatically. At present, next time the coins chance, you've got to reprint the entire thing.
Very nice project!! Can you explain how can I change the dimensions of the holes using any CAD? I Want to use this machine for coins that belong to another country.
That is hard to answer as all CAD software works a little differently. I'd maybe start by looking for tutorials for cutting circles using the software you have first, then applying it to these designs.
i made mulitple comments here, sorry for that but i have one more question. you used tcrt5000, which is a sensor detects reflective sensors right? but how come it was able to detect your hand?
These kinds of sensors can reflect off quite a number of surfaces! While some struggle to reflect shiny objects like metal, the tcrt5000 can reflect off all kinds of objects (like people) and shiny things like metal. The creator of this project has a separate instructable all about the trct5000 module used here: www.instructables.com/TCRT5000-Infrared-Reflective-Sensor-How-It-Works-a/
Hey there! I'm exploring arduino from zero and can't understand at all. I want to make this with this components 6 TCRT5000, 1 LCD1602, 1 Arduino Nano, 1 220 Ohm (for LCD), 1 74HC595, but I'm not sure about resistance and voltage. It's ok if I don't plug-in resistance for each TCRT5000? How much Voltage should I use? I have been reading TCRT5000 datasheet, does it use 5v? If so, Should I use a 30v power source? Is ok 30v connected to Arduino? If anyone has any tips for a noob... Thanks!

I think you should also put some more variables like lastbuttonstate and for all the sensors because we want every time the coin passes to increase by one (like pressing a button once) with this way even with the delay fuction it gets random data easily, just my thoughts : int value1 = digitalRead(pinIr1p); if (( value1 == LOW) && (flag1 == 0)) { count_c1++; sum = sum+0.01; flag1=1;} delay (debouncer); if (( value1 == HIGH) && (flag1 == 1)) { flag1=0; } Something like this
Hello. Could you make a system that activates the spray of a primal gas activated by a motion sensor or magnetic sensor? This would serve for a defense system in the home.
Hi, Thanks for sharing the video, we have a different set of problem. we have coins minted (Old & New) with Old minted coins have different diameter as compared to New minted coins. e.g. Diameter of old minted Coin for denomination of Rs. 1 is different from Diameter of New minted Coin for Denomination Rs 1. Diameter of old minted Coin for denomination of Rs. 1 is equal to Diameter of New minted Coin for Denomination Rs. 2. We are in unable to build coin counting machine because of it. please assist us with the query.
Hi, that's a tricky problem to work around with this design of machine. It separates the denominations using their diameter. If you have two sizes for the same denomination then you could create a second slot and have the code increment the value on the screen by the same amount for either slot. If you have two different denominations with the same diameter then you will have to consider another method for differentiating between the two. You could consider magnetism, thickness, weight or colour perhaps.
@@Electromakerio Hi, Thak you for response, we did try to work it out using wieght but again found that wieght of Old Minted Coin of Denomination Rs ! is similar (1 or 2 Milligram less than ) to wieght of new minted Coin of Denomination Rs @. We have same finding for Thickness as well. Could you please guide on how to use Magnetism or Colour as a differentiator, I feel differentaiotion based on Colour will be tricky because the colout of Denomiation RS 1 & Rs 2 is same, also for Denomination Rs % & Rs 10 has same. Perhaps Magnetism can help. Composition of coins is as below Rs 1 --> Stainless Steel Rs 2 --> Stainless Steel Rs 5 --> Nikcle Brass Rs 10 --> Copper Nickel Cnetre & Aluminium Bronze ring.
Colour can also change depending on the condition of the coin. Magnetism would be a good additional check but this is beyond the scope of this video - sorry. Perhaps in the future if we build a Mark 2 then we might incorporate some of your suggestions. Have a look at incorporating a reed switch into your design.
Yes you can use an Arduino Uno. Connect it the same pins as shown on the Nano in the video. Just use longer wires as the Arduino Uno will not fit in the same space under the counter as the Nano - you'll need to house it seperatley outside the 3D printed parts
Yes it does work, and you are right, my soldering skills are improving all the time. Heat shrink tubing really tidies things up and helps protect the circuits and joints. If you have it to hand then I would recommend using it.

@Achilles Jamie I don't, maybe it's time for your gf to take out a restraining order though
What if your infra red sensor only has the output, ground and vcc? I don't have the fourth connector.

very neat, perfect video really. amazing explanations and i loved how you thought everything, except that cable thing :D, thank you
Can I use the same principals of this device but to count screws instead?

Hi there! It doesn't matter which one you use, they both use the same ATmega328p chip and can do the same thing, the Nano is just much smaller!
How Can we change it to other Currucey like SAR ? Or other money in other countries

This is an excellent idea! If you build an improved version let us know - we'd be excited to see iterations that improve on it!
This is excellent! Just what I was looking for. Can it be used with platic coins?

The wires are stripped off both ends not either.
Very educational.. i can use it in my project.. but i wonder about the reset button? Where can i tap it?
You can access the reset button on the Arduino from underneath the base.
is it possible to get the cad file? i would like to change it for euro!
Do you have it?
I think you should also put some more variables like lastbuttonstate and for all the sensors because we want every time the coin passes to increase by one (like pressing a button once) with this way even with the delay fuction it gets random data easily, just my thoughts :
int value1 = digitalRead(pinIr1p);
if (( value1 == LOW) && (flag1 == 0)) {
count_c1++;
sum = sum+0.01;
flag1=1;}
delay (debouncer);
if (( value1 == HIGH) && (flag1 == 1)) {
flag1=0;
}
Something like this
This is a great suggestion. If we ever build a version 2, we will be sure to implement this idea!
I have this query, if the coin passes the sensor too fast, it does not detect it(but I can see that in the sensor itself, it activates).
