How to Built Your Own Coin Slot Operated Computer

For schematic diagram for USB coin operated computer with function to freeze the mouse and keyboard click here.

This is was indeed now becomes popular in Cebu in fact some of my friends are now distributing coin operated computers on different areas here in Lapu-Lapu City. The reason why many are engaging on this type of this business is obviously it makes a lot of money most especially when you place them in areas where there are many kids, just like in the terminal or market areas.

These coin operated computers are not that hard to make since you only need a few materials and attach a few wires to make it work. I think you don't have to be a computer engineer or an electronic expert to build your own coin operated desktop computer. However, I would highly advice that you consult someone knowledgeable about electronics since this tutorial is not thoroughly detailed. Google is your friend to find more information about this.

I'm sorry for not able to supplement you with more detailed tutorial on this post but I do have some pictures that may help you.

To start making your own coin operated computer, here are some materials that you're going to need.

1. Coin Slot which will cost you around 200 - 300 Pesos. There's an expensive one that cost about 600 pesos but I tell you, they're all just the same because I have both tested the expensive and the cheaper one. I think you should go for the cheaper one.

2. Wire - at least buy 1 mtr of wire. You'll use this to connect your coin slot to the timer.

3. Relay - just go to the electronic store and tell them that you're buying a relay for your coin operated computer. They know about this.

4. Two diodes - you can ask which diode you'll need in the store.

5. Capacitor

6. 9v-12v Transformer

7. Timer

8. Power cable that connects to your monitor.

Please ask the electronic store about some detailed infos of those materials.

Those are basically what you need to create your own coin operated computer machine. Now the succeeding pictures may not be clear but I'll try to explain them to you guys.


The diodes, capacitor and transformer are connected. You'll notice in the picture that the capacitor's gray color stripe are facing towards the transformer. You'll also notice that the transformers 1 AMP text are facing towards the capacitors gray colored vertical line.

Checkout the diodes, how they are connected, you'll notice that the wire where you'll see a gray colored head are connected on the opposite side of the capacitor wire.

That's basically how you connect the transformer, diodes and capacitor.

Moving down, the image you see is how you connect it from the transformer to the timer board. Check it out.



Try to analyze a few of how its being connected - the brown and the black wires are basically attached to the timer board.



The pictures you see above is actually the back and the front portion of the timer board. On the first picture above, take a look how the wires are placed and soldered. At the bottom or the front portion, you'll see how the relay is attached and the wires are connected. This is now ready to connect to your coin slot device which also has some wires that you should connect.

The power cable are stripped off using a knife then attached the wires that goes from the relay part as you've seen on the previous pictures - this is where the power is cut off that supplies the monitor when the timer stops.

Finally, below is a picture how all of these are connected.

I hope these gives you an idea on how to create your own coin slot operated computer or computers that works using coin slot. It only basically cut off the power supply to the monitor.

Again I'm sorry for not able to give you a more detailed tutorial on this matter but I do hope you could find something similar to these topic but more thorough. If you happen to find it, please don't forget to share it in here.

Ayos bro dugay taod2 napud ko nangita ani nga guide...Thanks for sharing! Your the man!

Bro, ready made ba circuit board mo na naka connect yung timer at relay?

bro ,yong gawa mo malinaw na malinaw pa sa 2big....bro ask kulng yon lang ba ang need to make a coin pc?...i mean wala nabang softwear yon?.....need your feedback bro asap...salamat

okey kaayo jud bro salamt makasbot jud ang makakita ani salamt jud dili jud ka dalo pag ka pinoy ill share it to my friends sad. god bless!!

@Michael,

Salamat bro..
Wala kanang kailangan pang e install na software becuase it only trips off the power supply going to your monitor.

@Anons...
Salamat for sa pag share ani.. Yep I'm a proud pinoy at masaya akong makakapagshare sa inyo.

Help me spread this post to your friends sa facebook. Copy nyo lang ang link..

Thanks again...

tnx a lot bro... karon lng ako magtesting ani.... tnx a lot..

Sorry.brad dli ko kibaw unsaon pag buhat ug schematics diagram..

Bro, what about the other wires asan pa sya i-connect?.. wire black, red and white.. and also the two red wires.

Mr. Rayman. Just want to ask if where can i found the power wire of the monitor power cord after stripping on it with knife.thanks in advance.great help

Just want to ask if how can i locate the power wire of the monitor's power cord. thanks in advance.

I have added new photos hope it'll helps.

Mr Rayman... Can I ask a favor, can you post the whole image of the coin slot connected to the power cord of the monitor and maybe also the wires connected to each other... thanks.

brad tanung lng san k pwd macontack interesado kc kame e my mga bagay bagay p kaimng gus2 itranugn tatawagan k namn if ok lng okya chat sa YM

o kya pre video han m habang ginagaw namo prms siskat k gus2 namin makita actual kc gingaw para llu mas main tindihan tnc po marami

bro, what if i want to disable the mouse and keyboard when the time runs out, what is the proper wiring of that. thanks in advance.

Mga brad, pasensya na kayo. d ko pa maasikaso un mga nais nyo.. sobrang bz ko kasi.. pag may time ako. gawan ko ng video..

kuya ask ko lang posible po b ung coin slot n printer?s thesis po kc nmen.kpag naghulog ng coin ska lang po xa magpi-print?need ur response thank u po^_^

@jestin,

I think dun sa printer medyo mahirap yan kasi d mo pa pause during printing process. If you turn it off mo naman yan, masyadong masayang sa ink dahil every time mag initialize ang printer may lumalabas na ink yan.

This is interesting Jestin, pero as of now wala akong maisip na paraan.

sir ask ko lng db 12vdc lng un realay e 220 ung cable ng monitor a panu un d b masusunug un ???? paki picturan ung saan dinugsung ung red wires tapos panung transformer gawa p onother transformer para sa monitor ganun b un

kuya my kulang po ss nsbi ko.gagamit rin po kc kme ng motherboard at touch screen dun po nmen iko-connect ung printer at coin slot.bale po gagmtin lang nmen ung coin slot pra un ung way pra magprint.pag naghulog ska lng po un magpi-print.my idea po ba kau?super thank u po^_^

kuya pls pkisgot nman po tnong ko..
2lang po kme magkpartner s thesis prehas p kme babae.kya lamko isa k smkaka2long n sulusyonan ung prob. pls we need ur advice.. tnx

@jestin, pasensya na for the super delayed reply. Masyado kasi akong busy these days. I'll try my best sa project ninyo jestin.

According to what you said, that every time you drop the coin will print? Tapos all the time itong naka on. Tama ba?

So ang mangyayari sa flow is

Coin Slot -> Board -> Printer

Ganon ba?

How do you control the printing of color or pictures? Iba iba ang price for colored at black lalo nat sa mga pictures.

Mukhang mahirap talaga ito pero I think its not impossible to achieve.

I'll try to find and search about this.

@danielthadeus, nasa picture naman po. please check nasa below portion.

nhihiya n po ko s inyo.
xenxa n po ahhh.. ggamit din po kme ng computer.touch screen ung monitor n gagamtin nmen.so pwede rin po b nmen gwin ung giwa mo?
san po nmen iko-connect ung relay?
dun nman s colored or black cguro un ung limitation ng project. black lang ung pwde i-print dun s machine...or magre-research p kme kung posible s program un..thank u po

Jestin, pasensya ka na hindi kita matutulungan limited din yon knowledge ko about connecting it the board.

Sorry talaga...

Sir, salamat sa yung blog...the best...tanong ko lang if pwede po bang i series or i connect ang dalawang coinslot para sa old and new piso coin sa isang timer...at paano?

@jason,

Di ko pa na e try gawin un idea mo. Pero sa opinyon ko hindi yata pwedi.

Sir Okey lang..pwede tanong ulit kung may alam po kayo ng multi coin acceptor na coinslot at paano ang pag set0-up.

brad.. pwede ipakita nimo unsaon pag connect sa 10A na relay,, katong dako bah transparent ang body...naa ka idea ana?

sir saan iconnect yung color green, black at brown para ma freeze yung keyboard and mouse, may color code ba dun pa post nman.. thanks.

brod, good job.. pero brod mas maganda sana kung me video, para macopy ko lahat kung paano gawin.. ung hanggang sa mag work talaga ung coin operated pc.. wala kc benebenta na ganyan mga gadget d2 zamboanga brod.. thanks!

@bernard, yon supply lang ng monitor ang ma cut off hindi yon keyboard or mouse and mag freeze.

@Anonymous, I'll be uploading yon video soon.

Subscribe to this blog para you get updated.

Thanks..

brod bakit mo dinuble yung relay.? para ba hindi masira kaagad yung isang relay na nasa board?.at para san pa yung diode at capacitor.? salamat brod. ang galing nitong ginawa mo. hanga ako sayo.

This is nice. you really are awesome bro...

bro, may idea kaba kun paano yung 2 coinslot and 1 timer. like yung isang coinslot ay para sa 5 at 1.

Sorry, wala akong idea about 2 coin slot and 1 timer set up.

Subscribe sa feed ko dito to get updated if ever may idea na ako about that.

Thanks for dropping by.

boss,bookmarked na po yung blog mo dito sa browser ko..ehehe..idol2x na kita..

boss, saan ba yan mabibili na mga parts?please post the list...balak q kcng mg operate dn..gusto ako2x nlng para walang gasto..ehehe...tnx in advance

Sa ACDC Electronic Store ko nabibili un mga parts dito sa Cebu.

Boss.. Bumili akanina ng timer and coinslot.. parehas lang ng timer ng sample mo. parehas din na cut off ang circuit pag ubos na ang oras. anong magiging deperensia kung di na mag dagdag ng additional na relay. What if gawin ko na lang na switch ng AC for monitor and speaker ung wire from the timers relay... (brown and back in my case) And napansin ko na gumawa ka pa ng power suppy para sa timer and coin slot. What if kuha na lang ng 12v sa computer power supply?

Yon relay to the monitor and timer.
Yep, you can use 12v of sa computer supply instead of transformer. Pwedi rin bumili ka ng dc with 12v supply.

Sir I made new design..

Please tell me kung may masamang epekto sa hardware..

Ang ginawa ko is i use usb mouse and keyboard. bumili ako ng usb hub. tapos pag ubos na time is i cut off ng timer ung power papunta sa usb hub(red wire). so parang naka freeze na kb and mouse..then after 1 minute auto off na monitor ko.. ang problema ko is pano auto shut off speaker..

and one more thing sir, bakit namimili ng piso ung coin slot ko? if luma ung nilagay kong sample luma lang ang pwede if bago ung sample un din ang tatanggapin. (electronic coin slot?)

Thanks a lot and more power!

wala kayang masamang epekto un sir kasi nakalagay na ung brown and black wire ko sa usb tpos gagamitin ko ulit sa AC power supply?

Anyway, you are a great help to all of us. We can't repay you now but I know God will do it for us.. thanks a ton and God Bless.

As long as tama parin un voltahi then I don't think there'll be any problem. Good luck my friend.

Thanks jud kaayo sir... na try na nko... 100% ok jud... salamat jud kaayo... Don from Iligan...

Mabibili lang po ba locally yung timer? Usually magkano?
Nakaprogram na ba yung timer? o kailangan pang imodify depende sa bayad/hr ng internet rate mo?

Salamat

Yep. You can buy the timer locally sa mga electronic shop. Yon tungkol sa pag set sa time. May control sa mismong timer to set. Ask mo dun sa bibilhan, alam nila yan kasi tinitisting yan.

Hope that helps

Unsay sensor gigamit ani if matagak ang 5 or 1 ky mocount man xa?

Depende sa imo gibutang nga coin as sample.

Built-in na daan ang sensor sa coin slot? mga pilay magasto ani tanan?

kuya maganda yung ginawa mo ....tanong koh lng saan ba natin pwede ilagay ang speaker kasi manex yung speaker namin ehh mai idea kaba dyan salamat...!!!

pwede bah isang relay lng ang ating gagamitin???

Sir I'm here again..

There is my computer operated shop is now running and thanks to you..

remember my design that I told you before? well, it working great but...

my monitor will not shut off automatically after a minute.. I set it under power options in windows..

what i want now is to shut the monitor down with this timer.. could you please make some schematic diagram on the relay part.. I find myself hard to identify colors kasi.. thanks

And one more thing, does your design shut the timer itself after time-up or just the monitor/speaker.

Thanks and more power!!

Note: noob in electronics here..

sir! pwede ba magtanong kung saang tindahan makakabili ng coin slot dito sa cebu? salamat sir

bai, asa nga tindahan ta makapalit og coin slot? asa dapita diri cebu?

Sa mga electronic shop like ACDC. Try mo rin malapit sa old mandaue flyover. Nakalimutan ko un name ng store.

@Reoliquio, sorry I don't know how to make a schematic diagram. I only learn this through a friend.

When time is up, the monitor shuts off not the CPU or the speakers as illustrated in my design. If you want to attach the speakers and shuts off when time is up then you may have to include it in the relay.

Sorry for the schematic diagram.

bai helpful kaau imo blog and it helps a lot to small time businessmen
anyway, pwede pa-post og drawing2 lng kung asa i connect or labeled sa components... TIA!

Mao, pwede itarung ang uban pics. Kanang naay blue green og red wire sa aha mana gpangconnect? gtanggal ang red wire ana?

Salamat

sir anung klase po ba ung relay na ginamit nyo jan? d ko po kc mabasa sa image eh...

pre tanx sa tutorial na eshare mo. may further question lng aq baka may maeshare ka din. ilan ba ang kailangang supply pra sa relay? pweD ba kumuha sa power supply ng system unit?

Boss salamat.... sakto ung tutorial mo sir !!! khit d detailed ung steps nya kailangan tlaga maging creative !!

sir, sa wakas nagawa ko rin 2ng design mo... works perfectly.. for a couple of days.. Bumibigay kasi ung relay na nilagay ko.. please tell me the exact value of the relay.. I used 12A 125VAC
12A 12VDC
7A 240VAC
7A 28VDC
I pulled it out sa sirang AVR ko..

Your design is perfect but please tell me the exact value or even the brand of the relay...

Have a nice day..

I'm currently testing new relay sir. Mejo tinaasan ko na lang ng value. I'm using
12A 125VAC
10A 250VAC
of course 12VDC(ampere not specified)

Bale ginagawa ko is nilalagyan ko lang ng load na 12V ung relay para mag switch on sya. At para i switch on nya ung AC circuit na may nakasaksak na monitor and speaker. di ko muna nilagay sa timer ung relay. so far ok pa naman try ko on and of ung DC power para ma test kung gano katagal ang buhay ng relay...

I will post kung ano man ang kahihinatnat nito... Thanks and have a nice day..

You've done a creative idea. As long as you're short circuit or exceed the amount of supply then it wouldn't any serious problem. Keep it up. Post your update here soon.

@reoliquio
50/60Hz
10A 250V AC 10A 120VAC
10A 120 DC 10A 24VDC
ito gamit ko ok sya for AC for turn off monitor, speaker,
@rayman boss meron ba tau ma share pag gamit ng time delay device kasi yung ibang shop sa amin gumagamit nito. coin slot, digital timer & time delay,

Sir! okey na lahat maliban sa switch...kasi naka box na yung computer ko..may idea po ba kayo kung paano gawin yung switch para pag mag press ka ng ON sa labas nang box naka ON then yung computer...sir i need it so badly..natatakot kasi ako if masira yung hardisk or something if mali ang wiring...

grabe ka awesome bai! more power to you & your family!! godbless

@ Jason
Sir, Para sa power ng AVR dukutin mo lang ung 2 wire na naka hinang sa may switch nya. then dugtungan mo ng wire tapos lagay mo sa labas ung switch. Use another switch if you want. Pero advice ko lang wag mo lagay sa harap. Why? kasi some user may turn that off without shutting down the PC. And for the system unit (CPU) switch, u can use ung pindudan ng numbers sa videoke machine. put that anywhere you want. ganun din ang wiring. putulin mo lang ung wire ng original switch then dugtungan mo then hinang mo na sa videoke switch..


@Bernard
Bakit 24V ung ginamit mo sir e 12V lang ung supply ng timer? thanks parin sayo sir..

@Ray
Sir, this is the 2nd day of my testing and still working. I will install this tomorrow. I really hope ito na ung tamang relay..thanks again and have a nice day..

@Reoliquio,

You've done a great work! It should work just fine. Keep it up..

Glad you've share your thoughts and opinions about this. I really appreciate. Salamat din sayo.

@reoliquio

Sir salamat sa response..try ko yung sinabi mo..

Sir, may naisip ako if pwede...diba 12v yung pc timer (board)pwede kaya kung kukuha na lang ako ng 12v sa power supply ng aking computer para pag ON ng computer ON then yung pc timer na design ni sir Rayman tangalin ko na lang yung 12v transformer if pwede?..
and about sa switch siguro tanggalin ko na lang yung switch sa computer at sundin ko yung sinabi nyo sir na dugtungan yung switch ng computer...at sa AVR naka on na palagi kasi sa iba isa lang kasi yung switch na ginamit pag nag ON ka naka un na lahat maliban sa speaker at saka monitor..pls..need a comment here..

Well, with all the help I can get in your blog that's the least thing I could do sir.. More Power!

And oh! I have installed the relay and it's working just fine I think I really nailed it this time! With your help of course.. Keep up the good work sir, alam kong marami ka pang matutulungan..

How about making an article about DIY direct to garment printer? That would be interesting I guess.

Have a nice day!

@jason

oo pwede gamitin yung sa power supply ng cpu, kung hindi ka na gumagamit ng floppy drive, kuning mo yung power ng floppy drive mo diba may yellow black black at red, kunin mo yung 12v dun, yung yellow 12v black ground, black ground, red 5v. kunin mo yung yellow at black ikabit mo sa timer.

@rayman boss panu po ba gamitin yung power delay ung na bibili sa raon para sa pc, ang logic nya turn off monitor and automatic shutdown pag nag zero 0 time. tapus di mo na kailangan press yung cpu para mag open, kapag hinulugan mo sya ng piso automatic na mag oopen yung cpu. bumili nga ako ng power delay kaya lang hindi ko alam panu gamitin.

@bernard
sir salamat talaga sa response...try ko ngayun...

@rayman
Sir, salamat din sa confirmation...
sir tanong ko lang..di kaya masisira yung pc timer(board) ko..kasi baka malaki yung ampers ng Power Supply eh 1amp lang ang design nyo...

It's nice to know. That their are some people who shares their knowledge to others. This blog really helps others who don't have any knowledge on how to build a coin slot pc.. more power.

first of salamat sa author nitong blog. talagang ang laking tulong nito for small business minded people.

@bernard salamat sa contribution po. pero about dun sa automatic on pag naghulog ka ng 5 coins. eh lugi cguro costumer non , kasi mag loload payun windows xp more than 1 minute cguro. e yung sa aking lng mas ok cguro na e ON muna ang pc with monitor connected on normal AC without goin through the relay procedure. disable nlng cguro yun speaker, mouse & keyboard.kasi if monitor ang lagi on/ off madali lng masisira. naka experience na kasi ako non.. sa akin lng ha. ^^, but still im open to other ideas. what if diba ?...

mga sir..salamat ok na yung setup ko... sir meron lang akong tanong...may i-install pa ba na software or something na tweaks para sa computer na hindi madaling masisira..baka ma corrupt yung program or OS sa computer...Deep Freeze lang kasi ang na install ko para protect sa software..pls need a comment here..

Jason,
You can thank also those contributors sa blog. Marami din sila naitulong dito. We are happy to help you.

Deep Freeze din un gamit ko dito. Hindi ako masyado na proproblema.

Hope that helps..

sir gud day po, ask ko lng po kung bkit my extra na relay diba po my relay na ung circuit ng timer tnx po

It's been 2 weeks now and your design still working perfectly... though I made some revision in your design I hope you don't mind.... dinirecta ko na ung power ng 2nd relay sa power din ng 1st relay.. so and siste is pag me supply na na papasok sa 1st relay e meron na rin sa 2nd.. dati kasi is ung 1st relay and nagsisilbing switch para i on ung 2nd relay.. so ngaung ginagamit ko na ung 1st relay ko to turn off my usb keyboard and mouse.. And it works flawlessly...

I have 3 units at home and kumikita naman sya ng roughly 3k a week, Hopefully next month I can add at least 2 more.
Thanks to you and to your blog... You really help us out.. God Bless and More Power Sir!!

@ anonymous poster above
Well that's the exact question I asked before.... You'll use the 2nd relay to turn on and off the monitor/speaker. Yes may relay na installed in your timer and yes you can use that. But you don't wanna ruin the whole timer itself pag pumalya ung built in relay nia..

@ reoliquio: sir tanong ko lng panno mo ena-apply yun second relay mo? kasi i follow sir rayman's pero na sira 12v ko na .75 amps transformer T_T sir please shed some light about this! please... at dahil doon na pilitan ako mag search ng ibang alternative. so nag test sa usb port lng ako! i have a usb keyboard, usb mouse, & usb sound card. kinabit ko yun timer sa usb hub. then nag program ako na if ma disconnect yung usb automatic turn off din yun monitor vice versa if connected ang usb turn on din yung monitor. pero dami bugs eh so sana kung pwed po sir turuan mo ako san ako nag kamali...

yun 2nd relay ko nga pla ay

10a 240vac 12a 120vac
15a 120vac 10a 28vdc

@bernard = salamt sa reply sir, ano po ba yung back read technical terms po bah yun? or read back hu bah?.. 4 digit po timer ko. pero ang board magkahawig, pero not desame sa polarity ng 12v supply. tama ba yung 2nd relay na binili ko? sa usb hub po naman cdrking din gamit ko wala naman delay half second to 1 sec po delay nya.

@Karlo
Here's what I did.. I can't take a pix on the real image coz I'm at work.. So I made this shitty drawing.. and took sir Ray's photo (I hope he don't mind)pagtiagaan mo na lang...
Link: http://tinypic.com/r/2cwptn8/7

@Bernard
eto ung ginamit ko
http://images.mylot.com/userImages/images/postphotos/2148165.jpg

sa cdrking din yan.. P80 lang. basta remember na ang
i-didisconnect mo is ung power nya (color red)

may delay din and pag resume ng connection nya if naghulog ulit pero matagal na ung 3 seconds..

@reoliquio
thanks dre, subukan ko mag dagdag, para yung logic na isa sa speaker, dko pa na palitan yung USB hub, ang bagal talaga mag response ng USB ko. ganyan din yung gamit ko na USB hub tulad ng sayo kulay orange nga lang ung sakin.

sa tingin ko ok na kahit di ka na magdagdag ng relay.. ang gawin mo na lang is bili ka ng outlet na dalawahan tapos saksak mo monitor and speaker tapos ung line ng outlet ang i-switch on and off mo with the relay..

headset ksi gamit ko...

naka pag dagdag na ako ng relay, thanks sa post mo, ang ginamit ko nlang ung Anti-Interference device para mas safe meron kc yung switch dun ko nlang tinatop yung relay sa switch, nakakatakot kc yung logic mo rekta sa outlet yun at dko pa na try yan, obserbahan mo yung monitor mo kung masisira at mag babago yung kulay.

@ Bernard
Sabi nga nila sir na madaling masira ung monitor pagkaganon ung setup... Pano ba yang anti-interference device? nabibili ba yan ng buo or inassemble mo pa? if posible paturo naman sir... thanks in advance..

so dito ko na sasaksak ung monitor and even epeaker it has 3 sockets i think. tong device nato na ring ang turn on and off ng relay from timer.. ganon ba ang siste? correct me if I'm wrong... thanks and have a great day!

and oh! magkano pala to?

yes tama ka, may aligator clip yan yun yung switch on nya, sya yung mag sisilbing turn-on and turn-off ng relay from timer. di ba may 3 outlet sya dun mo i connect yung monitor at speaker, dun sa raon ko nabili 200 yun.

thanks boss..sana meron nyan dito samin... Hanap ok bukas kahit suyurin ko lahat ng electronic shop sa buong probisya...

ilang volts ang supply neto?

thanks again..Have a nice day.

@sir bernard,,

sir , saan mo ba nabili un anti-interference device,,di ako makahanap sa raon..exact location or store

pm mo na lang sa akin sir..

thubancore@yahoo.com.ph

TIA
more power to this blog,,

talagang wala akong mahanap dito samin na Anti-Interference device... Instead of using that can i use an AVR with power surge protection? kasi pansin ko lang sa unit ko sa bahay, I never turn off my monitor pinapatay ko na lang recta sa avr. tapos pag on ko na ulit avr ko turn on na ung monitor ko.. I've been doing that in years and di pa naman nasisira ung monitor ko...

have a good one...

This blog is really helpful to people like me who wants to start small business ..

thanks to this blog,,

" Share more to do more "

saludo ako sayo sir...

God bless

@reoliquio

update ko lang yung interference device na nabili ko sa raon ngayun ay gamit ko parin at yung nag lagay ako ng isa pang relay sa 3 digit digital timer ko ito gamit ko parin. ang ginawa ko ung isang relay dun ko kinabit sa interference device speaker lang ang nakasaksak dun hindi ko na sinama yung monitor at yung isa kong relay dun ko ti-nop sa usb hub na nabili ko sa cdrking. kya when times run out, speaker at mouse keyboard ang mag freeze. ok na ok gamitin. yung nag tatanong pala kun saan ko nabili yung interference device for gaming sa loob ng global building yun o globe building basta magkatunog lang yun di ko na maalala eh, sa quiapo lang yun lapit sa over pass. tag 200 pesos lang yun.

pwed cguro AVR nalang noh yung may circuit na regulator and with protection frm power surge kasi la talga akung makitang Anti-Interference device di2 sa CDO... tsk tsk sayang. salamat sa inyo mga bossing! please keep this topic alive.. ^^

Hi Guys, I would like to say thank you for those active commenter on this post and I'm so glad that many of you are now using this coin slot operated computer.

As an additional information I have posted this http://blognirayman.blogspot.com/2011/04/schematic-diagram-for-coin-operated.html

Its a schematic diagram for coin operated computer in which the mouse and keyboard will stop from functioning when time is up.

I'am not the creator of the diagram, but it is illustrated clearly on how the wires are connected. I hope this will add more to your knowledge on how to build your own coin operated computer.

Have a great day everyone..

This blog really helps.

hellow po sa lahat, i have always wanted to learn po ng ganito, kahit na wala akong knowledge sa ganito but i tried to get more info. I wanna learn to satisfy myself.

naa untay makatudlo ani sa akoa puhon. Basin cgurow tungod bae ko walay gusto mutudlo.tsk.

more power sa imuha sir!!!

tanong lang mga masters

papa.ano ba ishutdown ang pc after gamitin ng customer?TIA

Hindi po nag shushutdown ang pc kundi nag tritrip off lang ang monitor nito dahil sa timer.

kuya pwede makipag mit sayo gusto ko kasing e negosyo yan. mag papa turo sana ako nung actual na pag gawa po nyan kung ok lang po ba sa inyo and gusto ko din po sana mag pa estimate how much po yung magagastos ko po for everything yung mga gamit at yung seminar po sa inyo. ito po number ko 09086794146. thanks wait ko po rply nyo po.

mga bossing meron bang timer binebenta pg ngbbrown out bumabalik yung time sa dati kung ilan pa ang natira na time nun ng brownout
tnx po

Wala pa akong nakitang ganoon. Interesting, sana meron makaka gawa nyan at eshare naman sa blog.

actually meron talagang software para dito...meron akong nakilala na nagbebenta nito 450 each code. 1code/1pc. bale ang kelangan lang is electronic coin slot connected in 1 terminal ng serial port. Today maglalabas ko ng 8 units and I'm planning to test this software...

bro how about the 2 coin slot in 1 timer. like 1 coinslot for 1 piso and 1 coin slot for five piso at isa lang ang timer na magpagana?.

wala pa atang hardware na nadevelop para sa ganitong feature. But there is software that supports multiple coinslots..
if your interested contact me.

Hello Brod, yung 9v transformer mo, ang 2 diode connected sa 9v then sa transformer, yun 2.

Hey guys, been away for a while and I can see that this blog is all over the roof!
Dropped by to say THANK YOU to sir Ray.. I'm now running coin operated cafes with over 50 units now and its all because of this blog where everything started..
I don't use this type of timer anymore (Using the software timer) but I'm still giving respect to this blog coz this is where I started dreaming... Thank you sir Ray and God Bless you and your family..

@reoliquio, I'm very happy to hear your success on using coin operated computers.

If you have time please share some information about your new set up. Thank you and more power to Filipino entrepreneurs.

pahelp nmn po sa timer.sa vga ang connection ngtry n ko pro d ko mperfect ang hirap.san my mka2long sa prob ko ....pls email me loysujdm@yahoo.com or rep nlang kau d2 slamt!

Para di masayang ang powercord, gamit nalang kayo nang outlet...ung wire nang outlet ang iconnect nyo sa relay... same lang ang labas noon, mamatay ang monitor pag wala nang oras.

sa ganito nga mechanism..Set nyo rin ang autoshutdown nang PC para mag shutdown ito kung i-iwan lang nang player para magpalevel. (say 5-10min). Software na ang kailangan kung gusto ninyong maglock ang mouse and keyboard.

sir panu po ba mag adjust ng time dun sa timer ng pisonet?

Boss, meron na ang unit na nabi from raon. Pinapatay lang nya yung monitor na nakasaksak dun sa isang outlet sa box.

Ang problem ko, kelangan ko pang pindutin yung power ng CPU everytime na magbubukas ako. Merong power button yung kaha na nabili ko at may wiring na na ikakabit sa CPU. Tinry ko ikabit yun (meron syang 2 na butas or 4 ata of I'm right) sa CPU. Tinanggal ko muna yung nakakabit na mga pin (8 pins ata yun o 10) tapos saka ko ikinabit yung wiring na galing sa kaha. Kaso ayaw naman gumana. Tamba ba ginawa ko? Kasi 2 pins or 4 lang yun e so tinry ko ikabait sa right side muna, ayaw padin. Then sa left side, pero ayaw padin mag ON using yung power button ng kaha. Kasi diba 8 or 10 pins yung sasaksakan pero 2 or 4 pins lang yung isasaksak na galing sa kaha? Help me naman po. Thanks.

puede bang ma adjust ang speed ng timer kasi my dalawang coin slot timer ako na hindi pareho ang bilis ng timer?

yan din problem ko iniiwanan ng mga bata ung mabilis ang timer lugi daw sila, sana may mag reply sa problem natin here, hinahanap ko kung saan ang adjustment o pipihitin, thanks

mga sir: HI

as in na timer nalang kailangan may mabibili ba ng timer na built in or need ko pa po bumo non:: pasagot po salamat late man po akong magising sa isyong ito about sa Coin operated pc eh i want to complement naman po Msg me po sa prettyman011787@yahoo.com salmat po sa mga sasagot at paturo at patulong narin po

very nice post po sir.... matanong ko lang kung yung payphone ko ba dito sa tindahan pede rin ba lagyan ng coin slot timer? email nyo naman ako kung meron zaldy_dada@yahoo.com

TIA!

Automatic shutdown ito boss.. Pag wala na time mgshutdown na sya o ma freeze lang ang mouse and keyboard? thanks hope to hear from you boss.

Sir, puede hihingi ng guide paano mag wiring sa relay, kasi may old timer ako na isa lng ang relay 1 piso coin slot lang gamit ko gusto sana lagyan ng 5 coin slot, Sir sana tulongan mo ako paano ito connect ang relay or simple schematic diagram lng po ok na sa akin. Ito po ang aking email po marklester820@gmail.com Thanks po

my obsevation why you have to add another relay which i have seen to pictures above is in series connection, the on board relays just driving the other relay on top of the on board relay. why is it you only have to use the on board relay it is just works the same while it is redundant to add another relay? I have made this not to add another relay just to cut off the power of monitor. what i expect is that you have another thing to cut in and off example the sound, keyboard or mouse while it is using low power source. while the monitor is the high power source which is not allowed to used together with sound device, keyboard and mouse. I understand your wiring even it is not clear to watched, that is my analysis and now there is 3 and 1 coin slot accepting 1, 5, 10 piso coins that fits to a single relay timer. that all tanx.

bai....pila ka muf/ vac u capacitor nga nakaconnect sa transformer...?

good day po...pano po ma-prevent ang coin slot na mag accept or i-reject ang coins na di naman naka program sa coin slot like 25 cents... even for identified 1 peso coin slot acceptors, 5 peso coin slot acceptors and universal coin slots... thanks in advance~
