Hi,
I'm building an arcade machine and the switch that senses the coin dropping
in a slot trips up and sometimes goes off twice, or not at all. The problem
is that a wire the switch uses to trip itself slows the coin and bounces it
around a little before allowing it to drop all the way. Could something
like a photoresistor (is this what they are called?) and a LED do this
without mechanically touching the coin? What is the cheapest/easiest way to
do this? When the coin is sensed I need two wires to be shorted...
Thanks,
SA Dev
