      Hey guys,
      so I'm trying to build a coin operated arcade machine with my raspberry pi.

      I want to buy those arcade buttons and sticks:
      https://www.amazon.de/XCSOURCE-Spieler-Joystick-Raspberry-AC782/dp/B072BXXKPS/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1502270136&sr=1-1&keywords=arcade+diy

      and i want this coin acceptor:
      https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00C16P03I/ref=pd_sbs_107_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5T4TMCG67TBKC2E52Z83

      My question is: how can I wire the coin acceptor to the raspberry pi or the the usb encoder?

      Thanks for the help :)

        Interesting project, I'd be interested in hearing if you get this working as it's something I might want to do to my cabinet before my son needs his arcade gaming rationed!

        I haven't any experience with these, but found this video:
