Have you considered KLOV? They like your brand of crazy.

Hockey and everything organized into plastic bins? No wonder we are internet friends.

Where did you end up finding the elusive yellow button?

Those aren't yellow, they're light orange. Duh.

Good job all around Chance. Disassembiling the coin meter is so anal retentive, but it's so you as well.

All this is looking great!

Are the violet sides still a thing? Is that still slated to happen? I'd like to come out publicly against that. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

I saw this picture and it reminded me I need to strip and sort the parts on my Nintendo VS cabinet. I like to put my parts in plastic tubs just like that.

I like your plan of using the ArcadeSD. It should make for a nice cabinet.

This is one sexy looking build/design, Chance. Can't wait to see this one completed!

The voltage to the meter shouldn't matter. The board just sends a pulse, right?

Do this - hook one end of the coin meter up to 5+ and then touch the other end with ground - see if it cycles. If not, hook it up to 12 and then do it again.

Thanks guys!

Ran into a little snag today. Looks like I'm not going to be able to use the stock coin counter as its voltage doesn't match the output on the ArcadeSD. Options are to replace the coil in the stock counter, or use a whole replacement counter. I'll add one to the shopping list I guess.

Have you ohmed the coil in your coin cointer? Have you tried connecting 12V to it?

Edit: Duh! Your coin counter is rated 24 Volts!

Edit2: I have several of these lying around after gutting the front panels for the Kenny's cabs I once had. These are rated 6VDC and of course works fine on 5V. Let me know if you need one.

You can't roll the numbers back on those easily, if that matters.

When you pulled the other one apart to repair it I was wondering if anyone makes a little pulse generator that you could just plug in for a few minutes until it was about to roll over and then cycle it manually. It doesn't seem like it would be complex to make.

You could also use the ArcadeSD output to drive a relay that applies the correct voltage to the counter.

Don't engineer it. 5v, new meter, done.

On my Macross, I ran a line from the 5v, and the other to the JAMMA coin meter output. The meter has a built-in diode, so I don't have to worry about anything. Easy peasy.

pbj · « **Reply #266 on:** March 01, 2015, 10:42:38 pm »

Rectify 24v from your AC line source. Get a shitload of diodes. Do it.

Wouldn't a relay require me to have a 24v source from a power supply anyways? The one I'm looking at has 12/5v outputs only.

Yes, it would require a 24v supply or power converter.

Swapping counters is the better choice if you don't already have a 24v supply and a relay in your spare parts bin.

PM me your address and I'll send you a coupple. I think I have 11 or 12 of these counters.

I know its a little late but I think you could have just used a NPN resister. It would have run less then $1. Not 100% sure it would have worked out here. I only know about them from the instructions from when I built a 1watt CNC laser.

It would have look something like this, ground from your regulated power supply to pin one, +5 from your counter to pin two, and +12 from you power supply. You might have had to add a resister to pin two but that is simple. The way I under stand it, it works like a gate that opens when there is a small positive current applied to pin 2 and the higher voltage circuit is aloud to close.

Just thought I would share in case some one has similar issues. I know this build will inspire others. This is coming along great.

Well, no. He still would've needed +24V which he don't have. I know what you mean though, and yes, it would have worked IF he had +24V. Btw: it's called an NPN TRANSISTOR. And the transistor require a resistor for the signal into the BASE of it.

I see you are using Nintendo joysticks. We should have a long discussion about their pros/cons and if it's possible to break one.
