I bought an old fruit machine (slot machine) from eBay and stripped it down into separate components. In this video, I'll show you the feature reel assembly, which includes bulbs, a 6-wire unipolar stepper motor, and a photosensor.
I had no manual or wiring diagram, so I'll show you the investigation and experimentation I did to work out how to connect all these up to an Arduino.
Download the wiring diagram and the Arduino code from: github.com/playfultechnology/arduino-fruitmachine
