Introducing Cointer, a coin counter (yes)
This project is a realization of a coin sorter. It uses lasers and photoresistors : the coin cuts the beam and increments the 7 segments displays while pressing a button decrements these displays.
You will find here the main code of this project but also simulation and 2D plans.
