Wiring Coin Mech
(1/5) > >>
Vaad:
Hello,

I am after a bit of advice ... I recently purchased an Arcade Cab that i am turning into a Mame Cab. I am making it as easy as possible .. Using X Arcade for the controls so everything is VIA USB.

The cab i purchased has a working Coin Mech and i was wondering if anyone knew how i could wire it up an use it.

I have read about a product called Mini IPAC. I dunno if this would work





Some pictures dunno if they will help or not.

Worse case is i just Splice the Power wires for the little 12v light and have that turned on.

I have mine wired up to my Ipac4, two wires from the coin mech. to the Ipac to use a key press.

I read recently that a guy had his lights wired to a power supply and had the switches from his coin mechs tied into the credit button on his x-arcade without cutting and splicing wires...Supossely the wire connector wiring the switches for the buttons  on the x-arcade are large enough to poke an extra wire to make contact .    red on hot /blk on ground of your credit button. BAM! coin mech works...This is going to be the plan that i am going to do when I recieve my tankstick.

I was trying to find the weblink to that guy 's project...Wait a min...found it ( link below)....he somehow made a coin mech for his cab...but you will see the idea...hope this works..
