Can't connect Coin Slot to 2 player Xin mo not working
(1/2) > >>

Hello all

I am now up to mapping buttons on my Cocktail Arcade Project, and i have bought one of those cheap Comparative Electronic Coin Selectors for a coin slot and i want to connect it to the xin mo as a button input. Shorting the two wires i programmed for the coin slot inserts a coin, but when i connect it to the coin slot itself it doesn't work? i have applied 12v to the coin slot and it accepts the correct coins.

I tried connecting ground on the coin slot to ground of the xin mo and the coin signal to the button 10 input on the xin mo which as i said is programed to coin insert with no luck. I found this picture someplace and tried this configuration with a zenner diode to take down the 12V but it also didn't work.

Thankyou in advance, any other questions you might have or if you you want a photo of something i am happy to supply it.

InfantSorrow ran into the same thing in this thread.

The Xin-Mo ZD encoder is an active high device -- the common trace around the outside edge has 5v on it, instead of ground.

He ended up having to use a small relay.

Part #s and wiring diagrams are in the other thread.

If you haven't installed your coin recognizer yet, would you mind taking several good pictures of it for the Wiki Coin Doors page since it's a pain to contact vendors asking to upload the *copyrighted* photos from their site for the Wiki -- much easier when someone takes and donates photos of one that isn't installed yet.   :cheers:

If you (or anyone else) can take several pics just like these (same angle and distance, clean/contrasting background), it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Mixed up the Xin-Mo with the ZD Encoder -- must have been really tired when I posted that.   :embarassed:

Wire a Xin-Mo same as an IPac.

Hello PL1
Thanks for the response, i attempted hooking it up again with a different zenner diode and played with the speed switch and sensitivity pot and i got it working 100% flawlessly. As for taking some photos, i had a go below, what do you think? its not the best i know it doesn't look as bad as a smaller image though  ;D

Here is another view of it side on like the other one you had as an example.

Thank you, sir.   :woot

Those photos are perfect.

What part# zener diode ended up working and can you do a quick wring diagram of exactly how everything is connected?
(for the next guy trying to do this)
