Is it possible to get an input in Mame to trigger an ouput in LED-Wiz?
BadMouth:
Made some time to mess around with it some more.
Pin 2 was 5v until the button was pressed, then it drops.
Any way I tried with the relay in the loop, I still got the voltage drop and the button press wouldn't register consistently.
Ended up going this route: EDIT-- THIS DIAGRAM IS WRONG!!!!!
It works perfectly. Doesn't seem to be harming anything so far.
The way I had the motor wiring on my diagram wasn't correct before.
I think that's why the protection diode looked backwards.
Is it correct in this last one?
I wish I knew if the feedback motor was made to handle more than 12V.
I can't see any markings from the top and I don't want to disassemble the whole gun to find out.
It's from a Gaelco Wild Pilot game. I haven't had any luck finding a manual.
I tested it at 24V for a few seconds and it shakes a whole lot harder.
EDIT: After 15 minutes of playing, my hands are numb. :P
On to the next project!!!
Nephasth:
Glad you got it figured out. But by looking at your diagram, I don't see how it works as the relay is both powered and grounded with the switch in either position. I wouldn't change anything though if it's working. And if 15 mins of 12v play is enough to make your hands numb, I would say there is no need to bump it up to 24v. Have fun! :applaud:

:angry: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!
The diagram is wrong, the ground from the relay should be BEFORE the switch.
:sigh: I'll fix it as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks for helping, despite me feeding bad information. :-\
FINAL REVISION (i hope):
(I didn't use one of the other 5V pins for the relay because the USB joystick adapter I'm using only supports one joystick and doesn't provide power to those pins. Buttons 3 and 4 work though)
BobA:
AFAIK the protection diode is not required for a SSR. A zener can be used for OVP on the input but since there is no coil there is no protection needed for an inductive spike.
Nephasth:
That diagram looks much better and makes sense now. I agree about the protection diode, but wasn't too sure since I have never delt with SSRs.
