| Is it possible to get an input in Mame to trigger an ouput in LED-Wiz? |

Made some time to mess around with it some more. Pin 2 was 5v until the button was pressed, then it drops. Any way I tried with the relay in the loop, I still got the voltage drop and the button press wouldn't register consistently. Ended up going this route: EDIT-- THIS DIAGRAM IS WRONG!!!!! It works perfectly. Doesn't seem to be harming anything so far. The way I had the motor wiring on my diagram wasn't correct before. I think that's why the protection diode looked backwards. Is it correct in this last one? I wish I knew if the feedback motor was made to handle more than 12V. I can't see any markings from the top and I don't want to disassemble the whole gun to find out. It's from a Gaelco Wild Pilot game. I haven't had any luck finding a manual. I tested it at 24V for a few seconds and it shakes a whole lot harder. EDIT: After 15 minutes of playing, my hands are numb. :P On to the next project!!! |

Glad you got it figured out. But by looking at your diagram, I don't see how it works as the relay is both powered and grounded with the switch in either position. I wouldn't change anything though if it's working. And if 15 mins of 12v play is enough to make your hands numb, I would say there is no need to bump it up to 24v. Have fun! :applaud: |

The diagram is wrong, the ground from the relay should be BEFORE the switch. :sigh: I'll fix it as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for helping, despite me feeding bad information. :-\ FINAL REVISION (i hope): (I didn't use one of the other 5V pins for the relay because the USB joystick adapter I'm using only supports one joystick and doesn't provide power to those pins. Buttons 3 and 4 work though) |

AFAIK the protection diode is not required for a SSR. A zener can be used for OVP on the input but since there is no coil there is no protection needed for an inductive spike. |
| Nephasth:
That diagram looks much better and makes sense now. I agree about the protection diode, but wasn't too sure since I have never delt with SSRs. |
