I was able to wire up the multicoin mech to my usb groovy game gear board. i did use the recommended diode as illustrated above. A whopping 79 cents from my local electronics shop. Works great. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a coin mech. What’s really nice is that you can assign different values of credits depending on what type of coin you insert. I have quarters registering 1 credit to maintain authenticity and nickels and dimes registering a whopping 10 credits as an Easter egg gifted from King Candy himself. You can allow 50 credits max per coin which I might implement for an essential free play once I find a unique token to use. It does require 12 vdc which I tapped from the pc power supply yellow wire. Programming is done by accessing admin buttons on the back of the mech. I’m curious on how the mech distinguishes different coins instantaneously with such accuracy. If a coin is not recognized, it rolls down to the coin return slot. Thanks for the advice and the great forums. |
