First I must apologize for being a noob but I have to start somewhere. So if I ask any dumb questions you know why.
So this is the situation:
I'm working on this installation for my graduation and I want everything to start moving and playing when you push a coin into the machine.
The machine is a kiddie ride and it's being controlled by an electronic device:
**broken link removed**
SPECS:
12v counter (is connected but not visible in photo)
motor
power supply
delay switch (don't know what it does, except that it delays something but nothing is connected to it)
coin switch
speaker (I won't be using the sound)
Specs Kiddie Ride:
**broken link removed**
Then I have a spinning disc, I used a ceiling fan for this. 3 speed. I'm using the highest speed.
SPECS:
230v
50hz
48w
I'm using a dvd-player and beamer and I'm using 4 lights.
This is what I want to happen:
When nothing is spinning and moving there are 2 lights lid.
When someone sits on the kiddie ride and pushes a coin into the machine 1 of the lights will turn off and at the same time 2 others will turn on. The ceiling fan starts spinning and the dvd starts playing. The beamer will stay on.
Can someone push me into the right direction or maybe someone knows that I need to use a kit and attach it to a computer use some c++ and I'm done or maybe this is impossible.
Oh, and is it possible to put the wires of the ceiling fan into the kiddie-ride electronics. I won't be using the speakers of the kiddie ride. Or will I fry the electronics?
Thank you very much. I tried on a different forum (dutch) but they didn't really feel like helping a noob.
