cheapy 'Zero Delay' USB encoder

So my only problem was that I was wiring up the coin mech ground wire to pc psu ground and not to the ground of the usb encoder?

Sorry for all the q's, my lack of electronics prowess shames me lol
I am working to remedy this though!

Thanks again,
Aldous

PL1:
In the diagram above, connect the wires from the desired ZD input (not shown) to the wires connected to the diode. (left side)

The ground wire should also connect to the ground on the molex connector to provide a return path for the 12v that powers the coin mech.

A picture of how you're connecting the encoder and coin mech may well be worth more than 1000 words for troubleshooting this issue if it's related to wiring.   ;D

If it's not wiring, it may be the mode that the mech is in, but that's hard to say since you haven't mentioned which model you have.  :dunno

@ Scott

Once again, thanks for the assistance sir!

I will upload a pic of my attempts at wiring for you as soon as i get back home, I am just on my way to a wedding now.
Another poor friend of mine not knowing what he is signing up for! lol

Cheers,
Aldous

Good day, good sir.

Sorry for the late reply, but I needed some recovery time from the buddies send off. Overdid it a bit.

Here are those pics you asked for.

The zener diodes striped part of the wire is plugged into the coin mech pulse (white) and the other part of the diode goes into the ground.

Now for the coin mech switch settings:
* SW1 = NO  (I believe this is correct because the circuit is only suppose to be completed when the coin is inserted, hence only triggering a pulse with a   valid coin entry)
*SW2 = 100ms - SLOW
*SW3 = MGN (Here there are two options, MGN and NOM. I left this on default coz I don't know what the hell it means lol)

Please let me know if this is okay :)

Cheers,
Aldous

Looks good.

Does it work?
