Optical coin switches?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Orclord:
Well here's my one if it's any help..











Level42:
THis looks like a complete electronic coinproof to me. I think what Ray means is a "regular" coin proof, but only the microswitch with trip wire which is usualy under the coinproof replaced with an opticial solution. That's what I'm looking for actualy, but thanks for the help !

Orclord:
In That case....ooops..

Just got this thing and It's my first cab, so I'm learning on my feet...

Now to work out if it can possibly be linked to an I-Pac in the future....Multimeter time I guess...

 :)

Level42:
No problem, you tried to help and it is still appreceated ! I too had too learn (and still have) a lot. Hope RayB can put up some pics.

That coin mech you have has a serial and a parallel output. I think it's a bit overkill for a MAME cab, but I guess it came with the cab ? No idea if it simply outputs a contact when a coin is accepted, but I actualy don't think so. So a hook up to the PC would mean serial (RS-232) or other fancy connecting. Guess you don't want/need that.

But I could be wrong. It is programmable, and I've seen people offering to program it for 39 euro. I bought two mechanical coinproofs for that money, but of course, these are less flexible...

Orclord:
Yep it came with the Cab...

I'm going to try and see what it outputs, I suspect 12v but not too sure..then what the credit board outputs....

If I get lost in that, then a Micro behind the Reject will be added.....

Still working out what I will need to convert the system 3 harness to "Standard" connectors and bung a comp inside.....Trying to keep it so it can easily be put back to original(plus a few Molex's) state....

Still that's another story...
