Hi there Nyrine and Carsten, The Credit Control Unit has a set of dip switches which determine how many pulses to send to the credit pins depending on what coins were inserted. In the case of the |

--- Quote ---So its basically like pressing the "insert coin" button 5 times just like you said Carsten. If you want any more help let me know. I might update the site if it's unclear then --- End quote --- Really cool, Chris Nightingale! I'm wondering for months if it would work this way - I've just a normal coindoor with two slots, and no native support for higher coin-values. Guess I've to design a triggering-circuit for this, just need to figure out how. :) |
| ChrisNightingale:
Yeap it's pretty easy. Ok so the electronics part of it is a little more tricky but the basic end result is a credit circuit which is closed momentarily to activate a credit. I take it you probably have the good old Happs Controls double coin door which has the single coin mechs. Well if you are ever after electronic ones, EBay is the place to go. As for generating more than one credit for a single coin - if a mech can't be used, a lot of the games have dip switch settings which allow a single coin to generate multiple credits and vis versa. :) |

Already found someone that had done this before, so it's just a question of time to fix this. And somehow I'll find a circuit to build the 5-times-trigger myself. :) |
| ChrisNightingale:
Well depending on how old the coin door is, most of the modern mechs are a standard size and one can be taken out and another one put in. As for the multi-credit trigger, I'm afraid I know very little about electronics but if you can make a circuit that can accept a single pulse and then get it to transmit several pulses as a result then that is all that's needed. BTW: I looked at your web page and the cabinet looks ace. Very professional. One day I will have something like that!! Bye for now, Chris :) |
