| Wiring Coin door to turn on PC - Microswitch? |
| << < (2/9) > >> |
| Franco B:
The microswitches that you have in place at the bottom of the mech are triggered when you insert a coin, if you connected those up your PC would switch on and off everytime you insert a coin, not what you want. The rejects do not active a microswitch, they just open the mech to release any stuck coins. What you need to do is to fix a microswitch in posistion beind the red piece of plastic so that it actuates the microswitch when you press the reject. Deffo some mcguyver'ing inmvolved but it should be pretty easy :) To answer your other question, yes the microswitches act as a normaly open switch when you connect the wires to the NO and ground/common terminals. |

I apologize for the horrible image quality, but here are some pics of my player two reject with a switch behind it. I screwed the switch into a small piece of wood, then I gorilla glued it to the coin chute. Of course, I have an older style coin door, here: |

GV- I'm curious. What function is hooked up to your hacked coin reject switch? Thanks, -Jason |

THIS is what you are looking for. I have the "coin" button wired to the player 2 return button on the coin door. |
