[Lincoln LUG] Hello all needing advice

[tom bruton]

Cheers for the response. The jukebox will have a touchscreen, Using the
touch screen they can select a song. Once a song has been selected the
credit will be deducted. I will be using a full computer, would I be able
to use a molex off the psu to power the coin op system.

Im guessing keypresses is the easiest way to send information to somthing
that is essentially a webpage running in a browser frame

Is there a guide you would be able to point me to. Also I would either need
to find a program or write one to turn the coin inserts into keypresses.
