Bill Acceptor (Arduino Compatible)

Features:

• Serial Bill Acceptor
• Accepts US $1, $5, $10, $20 and $100 bills
• Place the bill into the acceptor and it will feed it out the back and send a signal via serial to your Arduino or other controller that the money has been received!
• Make your projects into money makers with this cash acceptor
• Width: 66mm
• Standby Current: 150 mA
• Running Current: 540 mA
• Peak Current: 1.5 A
• Outputs a 50ms LOW pulse, followed by a 50ms HIGH for each dollar in a bill (ex: if a $5 bill is inserted the output is a 50ms LOW pulse with a 50ms HIGH interval between each pulse five times)
• Default Setting: SIO (Serial I/O)
• Bill Acceptance: 4 way
• Acceptance Rate: greater than 99.8%
• Input Power: 12VDC
• Operating Temperature: 3C to 50C
• RoHS & CE Certified
• Works with Mega 2560
