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,

THIS is what you are looking for.







I have the "coin" button wired to the player 2 return button on the coin door.
