    interfacing coin selector to PIC18F4620

    It didn't work in actual sir. I tried it with a volt meter, it gives 0.37v with or without a coin inserted. I don't have any oscilloscope to use. Assuming it would be a pulse, how or what changes should I make?

    interfacing coin selector to PIC18F4620

    Tried it in the simulation, it worked differently compared to my original. I hope this might fix the problem. I will try this in actual. Thanks. I'll get back with the update

    interfacing coin selector to PIC18F4620

    I have simulated it using proteus with a push button and it works well actually. So that's why i'm confused why it won't work in actual. I tried to test the white wire with a multitester, it gives off a constant .37v. If I will insert a coin the value doesn't change. I could have used interrupt...

    interfacing coin selector to PIC18F4620

    The coin selector has no datasheet. So this is totally unknown to me. It has 5 wires. RED - 12v supply BLACK - ground GRAY (2) - counter +/- WHITE - data/signal My current logic: The white wire will give a data/signal if a coin has been inserted. This is the code in detecting the data/signal...

    understanding a relay

    Thanks. The easiest to understand. Does a relay when activated disrupts the controlling circuit? I'm using relays (for me) a difficult circuit, whenever any of the relays are triggered the whole circuit goes kaput. I really don't know why. The relay is used to control a 12v solenoid lock. It...

    Efficient way to make a timer circuit

    Yes, that is my main problem. It has only three. And another, 16F877A has only 1 RB0/INT. how would that be done? The 4 timers should work at any given time. I tried it once using one 16F877A but I can't/don't know how it should be done

    Efficient way to make a timer circuit

    Saw the image, the problem is the segments are 4 pair of 7 segments are separated. They are not placed side by side the same with the link you gave me. Yes, 1 micro instead of 4. The problem is, the most easy to get microcontroller available in my area is just the PIC16F877A. Another thing...

    Efficient way to make a timer circuit

    I constructed 4 timer circuits which will countdown from 60 minutes to 0. They are controlled individually by a single PIC18F4620. The timers will time/function at different times depending which timer would I want to start to countdown. The timers default time is 0. I was thinking, is their...

    understanding a relay

    With that lot of questions it made me confused. Currently I'm using a relay being controlled by a 2222A transistor at the 1st end of the coil and a 12v source at the other end of the coil with a 4001 diode. I'm trying to use the relay to control a solenoid and a wall power source (220v and/or 110v)

    Optocoupler Connection

    Okay. Thanks sir. I think I understand what you are teaching me. Oh.. So the circuit you gave me will serve the purpose that I want?

    Optocoupler Connection

    I think I'm confused sir. How does pin 10 of isolator help in the circuit?

    Optocoupler Connection

    Thanks sir. What is that pin 6 for? Before I checked your reply I tried searching for more answers and constructed a new one. Can you check sir?
  13. P

    Optocoupler Connection

    How does it help with the circuit?

    Optocoupler Connection

    Is that so sir? Okay, I will remove the 2N2222A. Sir, I have the data sheet but I'm still a beginner at reading the the datasheet. Any of these information suites what you told me to look for?
  15. P

    Optocoupler Connection

    Will my circuit connection work? At default state, the MCU pin is at state 0. If the MCU pin changes state to 1 it activates the 12v solenoid. Does the Optocoupler make any difference if it is there or not?
