I would like to convert a complete Löwen darting machine on pydarts, so far everything has worked!
Now I would like to incorporate the Misthrow sensor and the Coin Acceptor!
Can you help me with that?? My programming skills are zero!
Best regards

Great idea @Starline !
I have the idea of converting this kind of machine some day ! I France, the main brand is Scorpion... And I am looking for a used one, but I couldn't find it so far.
The Misthrow sensor is not the hardest, so, let's start with it :
The easiest way would be to consider it as a simple button. If the sensor is part of the plastic ribbon (or if it can be soldered on the arduino like a button), we will simply add a button to the software to handle it (GAMEBUTTON/PLAYERBUTTON/MISTHROWBUTTON)
The Coin Acceptor
I have no idea of how this kind of thing works... You have first to understand what kind of signal is sent when a guy put money in the machine. Everything is a matter of signal and how to grab it on the Arduino.
So my advice would be : work with your hardware and your Arduino to grab a correct signal depending of what you want to handle. Once your Arduino produce the signal you want, I will consider the dev of the required functionnalities.
Good luck :) Great idea BTW !

Hi, I have a LöwenDartingMachine on my own. The coin Acceptor just works like a simple button. If you put a coin into it, its on, else its off. There are three (in the german version) different buttons (50 Cent, 1 Euro, 2 Euro).
The coins are seperated with a mechanical method.

Hi Anonymous
Is there a limit for coins (x 50cents, y 1 euro, and z 2 euro) ?
What append when it's full ? Is the signal sent ?
What append when the game is launched ? Do you have more details ?
The way you explain it is pretty logical, I understand and it should not be so hard to create a pay-to-play screen.

Hi, i connect a Löwen- Matrix to arduino board (4x16), next step is connect the buttons of the LöwenDartMachine, the coin acceptor is one of the buttons and give signal is coin insert.
The connectors on arduino is limited, so i decide use a keyboard hack to realise. i need a menu to configure game options with 5 buttons to work with LöwenDartMachine.
