Hi Guys

Sorry I was away for just over 2 weeks there Dad got taken into hospital (He's 83 and plodding on, back out now, which is good for Mum)

Right

Thanks for all the replies, I'm raring to go again, all the replies since I was last on have confused me even more lol

I have the mech taking only 50p pieces now, which is perfect, all the other dip switches wee put to off and it disables the rest of the UK coinage....

When I drop a 50p in I hear the old 12v Coin meter clicking 5 times quickly (I just left that in there onto the old Jamma Loom etc)

So where am I at ?

Am I best powering the mech with 12v directly and trying to get a push to make signal for the ZD or do I still go with this little chip I have wired up with the 4 wires coming out ?

Thanks

Slight development, before I went home tonight I thought i'd quickly try something else

1-Green
2-White on ZD does nothing when a 50p is dropped through
7-Gnd
14-5v from ZD

I then swapped the 2-White from the ZD to the blue, 1st time ever a coin registered on Robotron which was loaded up....

It gives 3 Credits :( instead of 1, I fiddled with all the dip switches on the credit board that control game pricing and every time it's 3 credits, i've left it this way atm as obv we are close !

The push to make to register a coin is working, I wonder if the pricing could be changed within the game itself ! I'd like still just to get that 1 pulse coming out though to my push to make on the ZD

Any ideas ?
