Title: Electronic coin mech and ipac2
Post by: Binkles on November 15, 2013, 09:26:20 pm: I've just bought a electronic 12v coin mech.

Came with no instructions.

There are 5 pins, on the side it says...
Grey - counter + -
Red - +12v
White - coin signal
Black - ground
Gray counter - +

I don't have a counter so don't need to worry about grey.

12v to computer power supply.
Coin signal to the ipac2

So how do I wire the ground?

Thanks so much for your help

It wasn't the IDE power wire I used, but one of the newer power molexes with the orange wire as well.

Me thinks I'm going back to mechanical one, sigh can't be bothered waiting another week for delivery so will wait until I order something else. Screwed up logic I know.
