Coin Door Problem

I know how to use the utility, that is not the problem.

I uninstalled the new WinIpac and reinstalled the old one.  The buttons that were programed work fine and even are recognized in the WinIpac.  But when I try to program it, it tells me it's not connected, even though it is working!!!

At this point I am too tired to worry about it anymore tonight.  I will fight with it more tomorrow after work.

When did you get your Ipac. I assume recently. This is the same problem that I had (Andy had to provide some support). You CAN'T use the old version of Winipac to program the newer Ipacs. If the old version is even installed, it will screw up the new version (IPD) when you try to program the Ipac. You need to uninstall everything and then reinstall only the new version (IPD).

When you run the IPD version the first time, you have to tell it what kind of board you have. Then you have to go into the config (can't remember the actual name of the menu item and my mame machine is in pieces getting ready to move to Africa - but that's another story-anybody going to be in Eritrea this fall?) and tell it you're using the USB interface.

Then you will have no problem programming the ipac (unless of course you forgot to move the jumper from mame to alt-it needs to be on alt to be programmed)

Also, if your want to test your buttons you could put move the jumper back to Mame and then use notepad as suggested before.

I have had my Ipac fior quite a while actually, at least a year or so.  I have never had problems with it until recently.  I will try to get a hold of Andy later today.  Although last time I tried, I got a message back from him saying he couldn't email me because he got a message telling him he wasn't allowed to send an email to my address.

After talking with Andy from Ultimarc.com I resolved the problem...sort of.  I hooked the Ipac up to a different PC and was able to reprogram it.  From there I hooked it back up to the pc in my cab and it works fine.  Thanks again to everybody for suggestions and advice.  You guys rock!!
