| Can't connect Coin Slot to 2 player Xin mo not working |

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. http://www.ultimarc.com/images/coinmech_setup.jpg 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. --- Quote from: bradley1023 on May 24, 2014, 03:50:45 am ---if you you want a photo of something i am happy to supply it. --- End quote --- 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. Scott 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) Scott EDIT: Error made in earlier post -- please disregard diagram request. |
