So.
I have started a project on creating circuit that would be able to count money that I could use. The circuit would be able to count from 0-99
A circuit very much similiar to it can be seen here: **broken link removed**
1)
Onthis link you can see a circuit with one segment requiring one 4026b and one 555. I have created the one under with 2 4026bs 2segment displays and a 555. What I do not understand is how this 555 starts or how it functions or why it is needed. I know how the segment display and the output pins of the 4026b work but nothing else.
2) How would i be able to have it count up to 999, how would i connect the 4026b ICs?
3) would using a piezo transducer or a push to make be better for a coin dropping on it. I believe a piezo would be better unless there are better options..
Interms of components or alternatives shout out anything I Pretty much have access to any kind of component.
Thanks all.
