2-in-1 MultiJAMMA Switcher Manual?
« on: June 25, 2011, 11:02:05 pm »
Is there any documentation for the switcher pictured below?  I purchased mine from eBay and the games aren't switching by the remote control.  I'm wondering how to wire it to a pushbutton to perform the same action.  Is there a manual available or does anybody know how to properly wire it for a pushbutton?  I asked over at KLOV, but I'm getting nothing but crickets.  :dunno

Closest thing I could find to a manual.   You should be able to wire in a toggle switch but not sure where from the pic.  Look around where the IR plug is. Have you put a new battery in your remote?   Got a mini TV and the remote battery was already dead.  Looks like the remote switcher receiver plugs into your board with what looks like a telephone plug.  The contacts for a toggle switch should be around where it plugs in.

Thanks for the response.  I've seen that pic as well, but couldn't determine where to connect the bushbutton.  The remote has an LED on it and it lights up when I press the button, so I would presume the battery is good.  I opened up the receiver and noticed there was an LED on the board as well and it was not lit when power was applied.  I flipped the connection on what I presume is the power header for it and now have an LED.  Still didn't change anything.  I've found that I can jumper a couple of the wires on the RJ11 and it will switch the game, but when they are not shorted, it goes back to board 1.  I'll play around with it some more and see if I can figure it out.  I guess if worse comes to worst I guess I can wire in a SPST switch to change the games.

Figured out the problem.  The receiver needs 12V and all the headers on the switcher only output 5V.  I directly connected the receiver to the 12V line on my power supply and it's working now.  Thanks Bob for your help.

the board pictured above in the earlier post must be a earlier version of the board, the one I have is a later board with extra connectors around where the remote plugs in, the board has a extra power socket, white two pin plug and a two pin jumper header. I've searched the web and can't find anything on it.

I have attached a image of a board the same as the one I have, not sure it will show up in this post tho :)

it's getting frustrating, any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
