Setting up the coin acceptor

In order to use the 6-denomination coin acceptor in the HaterMatic project, you'll need to perform some basic setup first.

For most of the configuration, you'll want to use the pushbuttons and two-digit 7-segment display located along the bottom edge of the unit, on the side opposite the label with operating instructions.

Configuring the baud rate

The first thing you'll need to do is set up the baud rate for the serial port, and tell the coin acceptor to send serial data rather than pulses.
