THE PROBLEM

Introduction

A coin changer machine is a device designed to automate the process of handling and

exchanging coins. It plays a crucial role in various industries, including vending machines,

parking systems, retail stores, and more. The primary function of a coin changer machine is to

accurately recognize, sort, and dispense different denominations of coins.

The coin changer machine utilizes various mechanisms such as coin recognition

algorithms, sorting mechanisms, and dispensing systems to automate the entire process. These

machines are equipped with sensors and imaging technologies that enable them to identify the

physical attributes of coins, such as size, weight, and metal composition, ensuring accurate

recognition.

According to the students of USTP—University of Science and Technology of Southern

Philippines (2017),the function of the coin slot is to determine the value of the coin and to

eliminate any fake or invalid coin.The study also shows that the coin slot gives off pulses

depending on the value of the coin inserted which will then be interpreted by the microcontroller

for the component called segregating servo to send command whether to accept the coin or to

reject it.

Objective of the Study

The main purpose of this project study or research is to develop an IT solution that will be

very useful to the people that need coins or change paper money in to coins

Specifically, this study will do the following function:

 1. To Developing an efficient and reliable coin recognition and sorting algorithm
2. To Improving the accuracy and speed of coin dispensing

3. To Enhancing the security features of the coin changer machine to prevent

fraudulent activities

Assumption

Mainly this study will provide a machine that automate the process of handling and exchanging

coins for most people in Masbate City.

Secondly, this study will help those people that need coins and change paper money into coins

like they want to connect a piso wifi or sari-sari store that had not enough coins so they can use

Coin Changer Machine.

Lastly, this will provide a Coin Exchange Machine to some places in Masbate City that doesn’t

have.

Scope and Delimitation

The general intent of this study is to know the effects of having the solar rotating in 180

degrees Celsius on some household in Poblacion, Aroroy Masbate.

This study will mainly assess different factors that affect the existing solar panels that

don’t usually rotate or detect even the faintest sunlight. Also, this study aims to identify how will

the researchers develop the existing solar panels.

This study will be conducted with a limited financial resources and time framework.

Locale of the Study

 This study is on the Solar Robolight was Conducted in Poblacion, Aroroy Masbate City

the target site of this study. The respondents came from the Department of the College of

Computer Science.

hands-on learning experiences in STEM concepts, inspiring them to pursue careers in

these fields. Exposure to innovative technologies fosters curiosity and problem-solving,

preparing them for future opportunities in engineering, robotics, and renewable energy.

The project's focus on sustainability and clean energy introduces students to

environmental consciousness, fostering responsibility towards real-world challenges.

Overall, the solar Robolight project provides students with a unique and practical

learning experience, equipping them with skills, inspiration, and a heightened awareness

of technology's impact on their communities.

 Future researcher - The Solar Robolightt project in rural areas offers a promising field

for future research, allowing for further refinement and optimization of design,

efficiency, and functionality. It also provides a real-world case study for understanding

the challenges and opportunities of implementing innovative technologies in rural

settings.

Definition of Terms
Electricity – In this study electricity will be used as the source of energy to use the Solar

Robolight.

Solar Panel – In this study solar panels are used to absorb the sun’s rays as a source of

electricity.

Solar energy – a type of energy generated by the sun.

Rural – relating to or characteristic of the country or the people who live there. Rural areas have

lots of trees rather than buildings.

Robolight – Derived from the word robot and light. The robot in this study is used to let the

solar panel move on its own. Light means the output that will get from the solar panel.
