I've searched but havent really found anything.  I need to know how to hook a bill acceptor up to a computer.  I cant use a uvi kit because im using the serial port for the touchscreen controller but what about putting the output on a keyboard encoder?? I need instructions on how to do that. Thank you.

BobA:

Maybe you could clarify what you want the bill acceptor to do.  Do you want to input the coinage/bills to a program such as mame or a jukebox or do you want the bill acceptor to enable the computer?

Most modern bill acceptors can output it's signals two ways: RS-232 communication or pulses from relay contacts.

I would suggest talking to the fine tech people at www.pyramidacceptors.com
