Title: Bill collector
Post by: bigbox on January 08, 2009, 01:53:58 AM
Does Freebox Jukebox support or will support any type pf bill collector?

For my baseman usage my friends just come to play games, eat, drink and listen to music.
I think is all right for them to help me out with some $ support without asking then for it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it does support credit operation. You will need a bill acceptor or coin mech that you can hook up to send keypresses. A Few memebers on here have done so and have their jukes running this way. However if you require credit support then you will need a commercial licence which is $250 to obtain the licence file to enable the credit operation to work correctly.

I think is worth it, I'll be able to recover that money since they come Fridays and Saturdays my house became they hangout spot.

1. How do i make this payment?
2. Where can i find a tutorial for the bill acceptor?

bigbox,

Send me PM if you need a US$ Dollar Bill Collector as I have one that I'm not using, I'm sure we can make some kind of deal. I have the docs for it, all you need to do is connect 2 wires from it to an Ultimarc IPAC http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html) so everytime a dollar bill is entered, it sends a call to the IPAC and then the IPAC sends it to Freebox as a keypress. I actaully have not done it myself, but that is how it works.
