Can any point me in the right direction to make an optical switch for my cion slot? so when the coin breaks the beam it sends a signal its like pushing a button I've had alook at the schematic on oscar controls site http://www.oscarcontrols.com/coinswitch/ but cant see where you wire in the Infrared Emitter and Phototransistor Detector in the curcuit. thanx buges |

I was wondering the same but hadn't gotten around to asking yet. |
| OSCAR:
In the schematic they are shown in the right-side grey box. The LED is on the right in series with the R4, 10k resistor. The transistor is on the left, with one leg going to the +5V and the other to the trigger input on the 555 timer. |
