--- Quote from: theCoder on August 27, 2007, 09:58:28 pm ---The circuit does not look right. It looks like it will trigger a count when any of the buttons are pressed. --- End quote --- I'm pretty sure the circuit is right. It is intended to count all coin (P1+P2), while having separate inputs for P1 and P2 on the encoder. Ex: insert coin in P1. ==> "P1 Coin" is shorted to gnd ==> encoder will detect P1_coin (pin 5 to gnd, pin 6 open) ==> the transistor emitter is shorted, letting a small current flow from B->E. Acting as an amplifier, a greater current will go from C->E activating the 12V counter. Similar process when inserting coin in P2... ==> "P2 Coin" is shorted to gnd ==> encoder will detect P2_coin (pin 5 open, pin 6 grounded) ==> the transistor emitter is shorted, letting a small current flow from B->E. Acting as an amplifier, a greater current will go from C->E activating the 12V counter. Anyways, if you still thing the logic is wrong, let me know. I'll test it this weekend... Jay -------- For the marquee, anyone has comments/recommendations? |

Ah, I get it. It only increments on a real coin. I was thinking about the dual button thing causing an increment; looking for the switches in series. I didn't read your post thoroughly enough I guess. Nice schematic. What cad system did you use? Regarding your artwork... I'd recommend a couple of things, both involving depth/dimension. Ignore as you see fit. 1) Add some shadows/highlights on the creatures. Maybe a little dark brown on the bottom/right sides and light tan on the top/left sides. If you use a brush with a lot of opacity, you can gently paint it in bit by bit. 2) Add some pizazz to the text. Perhaps a pillow emboss, or drop shadow. Also, how about a couple of really small flying teradactals to break up the open space towards the top. I'm glad to your creature didn't "mount" the text. Great progress. |

All right, here's marquee rev0.1 As recommended by coder, I've added some shadow/tex/light to the lizard and to the text. Any advice/comment?? please... PS: this is also posted in the artwork forum... Jay :cheers: |

All right, here's another trial. The background is still empty and the text on this one sucks, but you get the general idea. Feedback please ;) Jay :cheers: Note: trial also posted in the artwork forum... |

Those lizards with the other text and maybe some more color in the text or background would be great. Each trial has had some improvements, but now you just need to take the good parts from each. |
